NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP, abc24.com) - Tennessee lottery officials say Powerball players in the state have won more than $298.1 million in prizes since the game became available in the state in April 2004.
They commented Thursday as the Powerball jackpot reached $310 million for Saturday's drawing, the most since August 2007, when it was $314 million.
Rebecca Hargrove, president and CEO of the Tennessee lottery, said a recently redesigned Powerball game has boosted jackpots and improved odds of winning.
It costs $2 to play.
