Americans on Monday were lining up yet again to buy Powerball tickets, dreaming of winning a $1.9 billion lottery jackpot that had jumped to a record high after repeated drawings failed to produce a winner.
Saturday's drawing was the 40th in a row without someone winning the top prize, which grows larger each time the jackpot goes unclaimed. To win, a ticket holder must match all six numbers drawn.
After Saturday's drawing, so many people were trying to check their numbers online that the Powerball.com website crashed, multiple media outlets reported. It remained down on Monday afternoon except for a home page listing Saturday's winning numbers and the new jackpot estimate. Among tens of thousands of other ticket holders, Greg Spencer, 67, a retired truck driver from suburban Atlanta, hopes to break the string of no winners on Monday.
