After two “Thor” movies and taking on Nazi Germany in 2019’s “Jojo Rabbit,” what’s a film project Taika Watiti could do to spice things up? How about a sports movie about undergods that the director deems as “basically the “Cool Runnings” of soccer”? Enter “Next Goal Wins,” Waititi’s new film out next April, about the true story of an American Samoan soccer team who went from one of the worst teams in the world to an elite squad.
Powerball Lottery Has No Saturday Night Winner – Next Drawing Features Record Jackpot
06.11.2022 - 19:51 / deadline.com
For some, $1.9 billion is ashtray money. But for most, it’s a life-changing sum, and it will be up for grabs on Monday in the largest lottery jackpot in US history.
On Saturday, for the 40th drawing in a row, no ticket matched the five white balls and red Powerball to win the jackpot. Thus, the $1.6 billion jackpot rolls over to Monday, with the total anticipated to hit $1.9 billion.
The amount at stake on Monday easily tops the previous record of $1.586 billion. That jackpot was one by three people, who split the pot. The largest individual win came in 2018, when a Mega Millions player from South Carolina won $1.537 billion.
Of course, the totals aren’t the take-home amount. Federal and some state taxes are taken out. The winner also has the option of taking the prize in a lump sum or in a 30-year annuity.
The Powerball drawing is televised in many states, and ABC-7 provides a live stream of the event for Los Angeles.
