Powerball jackpot up to $700 million, drawing Wednesday

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) – Powerball fever is on the rise and so is the jackpot.

The grand prize for Wednesday night’s drawing is now up to $700 million. CBS 58 stopped by the KK Petroleum gas station in Bay View and spoke with some Powerball players who shared how they’d spend their winnings.

“I think I’d give a lot back. For pit bulls and other dogs that are abused. Help my friends out, own part of a baseball team down the road,” says Tommy Medrow who bought a Powerball ticket.

The cash payout for hitting the big jackpot is more than $440 million. The next drawing is Wednesday night at 10 p.m.
