Powerball fever is spreading as the jackpot hits $1.7 billion — making it the third-largest prize in U.S. lottery history.

The enthusiasm for the gargantuan pot is fueling business on Jackpocket, a lottery courier owned by DraftKings

and available in 16 states.

DraftKings said 15 million Powerball tickets have been ordered using Jackpocket during this Powerball run. Powerball ticket sales on the platform increased 130% day over day from Wednesday to Thursday this week. And sales on Wednesday alone increased 200% from the previous week.
