With no winner on Monday, Powerball’s jackpot has grown to $1.4 billion — the highest it’s been in more than a year.
Ahead of Wednesday evening’s drawing at 10:59 p.m. ET, the prize is now ranked as the fourth largest in the game’s history and the sixth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association that runs the lottery.
Here’s a look at the 10 biggest Powerball jackpots of all time and where the winning ticket was purchased:
If no ticket matches all six numbers, the jackpot will roll over and grow based on ticket sales. The next drawing would then offer a prize even larger than the current $1.4 billion, potentially setting a new record as the third biggest in Powerball history.
If you’re lucky enough to win the jackpot prize, you’ll have a choice between the full $1.4 billion annuity, paid out over 30 years, or the lump-sum cash option of $634.3 million.
