Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:59 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — The Powerball jackpot has continued rolling, hitting an estimated $1.04 billion ahead of Monday night's drawing. Despite its record-setting size, a winner won't become an instant billionaire. Powerball players have been watching the jackpot grow since mid-July when yet another record jackpot worth $1.08 billion was hit by a ticket sold in California. Without a winner on Monday, the current jackpot could easily surpass that yet-to-be-claimed jackpot. What happens to unclaimed lottery tickets in Colorado? Regardless, the current jackpot stands as the fourth-largest in Powerball history, and the ninth-largest lottery draw game prize in the U.S.Don't be deceived by its massive size: If you beat the overwhelming odds and win the Powerball jackpot, you'll be taking home far less than $1.04 billion. Here's why. Powerball payoutsPowerball jackpot winners can either receive their payout as annuitized payments or a lump sum. The first is represented by the big, flashy number of ...

Rishi Sunak’s rebellious army

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:59 GMT

MANCHESTER, England — Rishi Sunak is trying to convince the British public the Tories have a clear and unified plan to stay in power. His less-than-loyal troops have their own ideas.With an election due next year, the U.K. prime minister — who faces a pivotal moment with his first conference speech as party leader Wednesday — might have hoped a shared fear of annihilation at the polls might encourage his fractious party to unite behind a common cause.“I have a good sense of what the British people’s priorities are. I’m going to set about delivering for them,” Sunak optimistically told the BBC on Sunday as his party conference kicked off.But singing from the same hymn sheet as the leader is not high on the agenda for a significant number of Tory MPs.In every corner of the cavernous conference center in Manchester, senior Tories were popping up on Monday to tout their own ideas about the best direction of the party.Such clear signs of division are not good news for the prime minister....

But nowadays this isn’t just true of the notoriously AfD-friendly states in east Germany, it’s also spreading further west.In Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, the AfD is currently running well above 30 percent. The party is gaining ground in the former West German states of Hesse and Bavaria as well, where it is expected to land at around 15 percent in this weekend’s elections.Once labeled as only appealing to the marginal far right, today the AfD has become acceptable to significantly more voters. And although polls aren’t election results, they are sending shock waves through the German political landscape.At regional and local levels, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to successfully form coalitions against AfD candidates. In Sonneberg, a district in s...
