An estimated $1.4 billion Powerball jackpot that has been growing since July is about to be on the line.
Saturday nights jackpot is the worlds fifth-largest lottery prize after rolling over for 33 consecutive drawings. The scarcity of Powerball jackpot winners reflects the game’s daunting odds of 1 in 292.2 million.
The $1.4 billion prize is for a sole winner who is paid through an annuity, with annual checks over 30 years. Most jackpot winners opt for cash, which for Saturday night’s drawing would be an estimated $614 million. Powerball is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
