Putting Powerball in Perspective
Last night’s Powerball jackpot was worth $697 million. For perspective:
- A stack of $100 bills, totaling $697 million, would be taller than every building on Earth, but one in Dubai.
- The stack of cash would be as tall as two Empire State buildings.
- The stack would also be taller than four Washington monuments and eight Statue of Liberty’s.
- If placed side-by-side as $1 bills, the $697 million jackpot would circle the Earth 2 2/3 times.
There was only ONE winning ticket for last night’s Powerball jackpot. They’ll have to buy a big new house to fit all that money!
