one won. last night's billion-dollar price. yeah, somebody did match 5 numbers to win nearly 4 million dollars. that seconds. chump change compared to the big jackpot. but reporter john miller explains why we're seeing more billion-dollar jackpots. >> 1.3, 5 billion dollars. definitely not your dad's lottery jackpot and not an anomaly. million dollar payouts are almost starting to seem quaint in novembmr. powerball hit 2 billion dollars in july. mega-millions hit 1.3 billion and in 2018, a mega millions jackpot went to one and a half billion to grow a lot quicker. >> when you've got 300 million that's contributing as opposed to just buyers, for example, of lottery experts say the second reason for the huge payouts, ticket prices, they went up from one dollar game to $2 a game. jackpot is accumulating twice as fast because twice as much money is being collected. the 3rd reason for crazy billion dollar payout. lottery

officials have changed the metrics, adding more number combinations, making it harder to win, increasing the likelihood of rollover jackpots. sure. it's fun to think about what you would do with extra million or 2, but it's a lot more exciting to dream about what we would do if you are a billionaire. the defendant see buying a by mention? keep in mind the odds don't change from jackpot jackpot being 10 million dollars or 2 billion dollars. your odds of winning remain the same. about one in 300 million. >> we are gearing up for the forty-niners playoff game against the seattle seahawks saturday. it's no surprise that the niners are favored to win. >> so let's look at some betting odds from fanduel. all the niners are currently 9 and a half point favorites this weekend. meaning if you want to win some money, the niners have to win by at least 10 point. if you just want to bet on them to win the ar minus 500, meaning you have to put down $500 to win $100. you can

also bet on how many total points will be scored in the game. most teams would have to score more than 43 points combined for you to win that bet. now if you like the niners chances of making a deep playoff run, fanduel has them tied with the eagles as the 3rd most likely team to win the super bowl. >> and now kron 4 sports. >> the niners put on the pads for the first time this week. it was a wet, rainy affair out in santa clara. but that's probably how it's going to be on saturday afternoon when they take on the seahawks brock purdy. we'll be making his 7th start of the season. first of the postseason, of course, this will be his second go-around against seattle. he beat seattle on a thursday night in december at century link and he's going to treat this game the same way he's treated his first 6. >> we what seems like and so

for myself, it's, you know, come back in what one of the done different last couple you know, what did we do to attack in the first and go from there? but again, not try to overthink things or do anything stick to what you know, coaches out up. i'm just going play my game and go from there. keep simple. >> meanwhile, up in seattle, the seahawks are riding high off an emotional sunday. they had to beat the rams and then and the whole. the lions beat the packers later that night. all for a date with the hottest team in nfl. out perfectly for them, capping it off with that rodgers pick. now they're on to game planning for the niners that the weather will likely be a factor. as i said, were both and the forecast calling for heavy rain. what else is new? but seahawks quarterback geno smith. we've more worried about nick bosa that niners set. >> he's a you know, guy. he's a great player they have a

bunch of guys on their front 7. but, you know, i trust my guys. not really. i trust my guys. i know they're going to come ready to play as they've always have me. i sit back there with a farm back foot you know, kind of those guys to do what they do because i know you know what, they're capable love. and i know when we play right, you know, we bark. >> all right. after a roller coaster offseason, carlos kcur era has finally found a home and finally passed a physical. after all the drama. he's staying with the twins. after all, the organization announced that they have signed him to a six-year 200 million dollar deal. gray had deals worth over. 300 million will both the giants and the mets. but doctors for both teams had concerns with his right ankle as and astros. prospect korea had a plate installed in his lower right leg after suffering an injury korean agent scott boris has stressed that doctors have had varying opinions on that ankle. last

piece of video right here is going give you a laugh just when you thought you've seen it all. all right, caleb nbc. he goes up fo the layup. he misses pete 3, the video for us and you can see a show is on the ground. so anyway, the play goes on. they go down the other way, but there's a steal. look at that. that's off the making still in his hand, has really funny was more look at his right hand. he has the ball left left i thought he could have shot the shoe. i know. you drop he was one hand because he didn't have i've seen players hit the shot with their shoe off after flu law. >> but not with it in new every day. highlight say yeah. let's talk about the seahawks and the niners. i'm just looking at up, you know, the seahawks it have won the

series historically. >> 30 games to the forty-niners winning just 19 games between the 2 teams in their entire history. i know it surprised me too. but the niners have swept him in the regular season this year. this year you know, i mean, the niners are just a better team. >> if they lose this game, it will be because one of those things when i was just didn't play well, pete carroll had fantastic game plan. the weather kind of made everything a little more difficult because the niners, i mean, they can beat you in so many different ways. but the sea at seahawks day really, they have to establish their running game. they can't turn the ball over and they have to get. plays downfield by geno smith. and that's one place where san francisco has been vulnerable. talanoa hufanga is super talented, but he's also super aggressive. he bites a lot and you get beat deep. we've seen it. we saw it twice last week with 2 weeks ago with davante adams. we also saw that last week

against the cardinals. so that is where they can be be. geno smith, not known to just shocking run in all this stuff, but if you can pick his spots, they had dk metcalf was pretty good. we'll see. but the they should win that snapped that play the game yet. we'll be right back.
