Powerball lottery: Will someone win the $275 million jackpot (or perhaps more) on March 15, 2008?

Settled as Yes, one winning ticket will be sold.

No one has won the multi-state lottery in the United States since Jan. 16, 2008. If more than one winning ticket is sold, the jackpot is divided among the winners. When jackpots are this high, they sometimes increase as more tickets are sold. The final jackpot could be more than $275 million.
