On Saturday, October 29, you could win one of two Powerball jackpots larger than $825 million. Not only is this the second-largest Powerball jackpot ever, but it’s also the fifth-largest jackpot in the history of the United States’s national lottery.
This evening’s drawing offers a cash option worth an estimated $410.2 million. If ticket sales are higher than anticipated, the jackpot could grow even larger.
According to a press release from the Multi-State Lottery Association, Powerball game officials raised the jackpot estimate to $825 million for Saturday night’s drawing due to “strong” ticket sales across the country.
According to the press release, “if a player wins Saturday’s jackpot, it will rank as the second largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot,” and the fifth largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
Drawings are held every Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. ET at the Florida Lottery’s draw studio in Tallahassee.

On August 3, a winning ticket in Pennsylvania matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win $206.9 million. Since then, there have been no jackpot winners in 36 consecutive drawings, according to the announcement. If nobody wins the jackpot on Saturday for the 37th time, it will likely grow to an annuitized $1 billion for the drawing on Monday, October 31.

According to the announcement, the record-breaking $1.586 billion jackpot was split between three winners from California, Florida, and Tennessee.
