A lucky person who bought a ticket in Arkansas will take home a whopping $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot, which has a cash option of $834.9 million.
The Christmas Eve prize is the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won and the largest Powerball prize this year, according to a news release from the Multi-State Lottery Association.
$1 million is just a normal home in most of the populated parts of the US. Literally 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2000 sq ft.
Real estate prices are out of control.
No it’s not. It is that way in some parts, but no where near most.
Most of the land in the US does not have million dollar 3 bed homes, but I bet most of the population lives within a commute’s distance where it’s true. I was expecting the quotes around “modest” to do some heavy lifting in both directions. Could be an apartment in a cultural center, could be an extraordinary place in the mountains.
