Bad news: I didn’t win the Powerball jackpot.

Good news: Nobody else won either.

The new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing will be the third highest in U.S. history and will keep growing until someone wins. Players have a chance at $1-billion paid out in yearly increments or a $516.8-million one-time lump sum before taxes. The largest Powerball jackpot was $2.04-billion Powerball last November.

There are no restrictions that prohibit Canadians from playing the Powerball lottery. Tickets can be bought online.

Tickets are now on sale for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The annual show runs September 16–24 at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit. Adults $20, Seniors $12 and Kids $10.

Tickets may also be purchased the day of the show at ticket booths located in Huntington Place concourse (cash or credit). Children 2 years and under are free when accompanied by a parent or guardian and do not require a ticket.
