Powerball’s massive jackpot will rollover and increase after Saturday’s drawing produced no winning tickets, according to the game’s website.

The $1.4-billion jackpot now grows to $1.55 billion but remains the third-largest in Powerball’s history (the second largest was $1.586 billion in 2016).

The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot after the July 19 drawing for the $1.08 billion pot. The winning ticket then was sold in California.

    You’re not wrong. There’s serious issues with the gambling industry that need to be dealt with, as well as outside social problems driving people to it.

    That doesn’t mean the whole concept of a lottery needs to be thrown out, or that anyone who participates is an idiot.
