The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $700 million ahead of Saturday night’s drawing. If someone wins the grand prize, it would be the sixth largest jackpot that Powerball has ever seen and tenth highest across U.S. lottery history, Powerball said.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot since Nov. 19, causing the lottery game’s top prize to grow bigger and bigger in recent months. The chances of winning a Powerball jackpot are extremely slim, with odds standing at about 1 in 292.2 million.
If someone finally wins it all on Saturday, the estimated $700 million prize would only be distributed if the winner selects an annuity option paid gradually over 29 years. Most jackpot winners opt for the cash option – which was $375.7 million for Saturday. The final amount taken home depends on state and federal taxes.
