The Powerball jackpot soared to an estimated $1.7 billion on Sept. 4, setting up another round of frenzied ticket sales ahead of the next drawing on Saturday, Sept. 6.
There was once again no jackpot winner when numbers were drawn on Wednesday, Sept. 3. The jackpot is now the third-largest in U.S. history and the biggest since $1.586 billion was up for grabs in January 2016.
Though the chances of winning remain astronomically low − about 1 in 292.2 million - the massive jackpot has many Americans dreaming about what they would do with the cash prize.
No one knows who (if anyone) will win, until Saturday night, but hopeful players will keep their eye on the prize until the drawing. USA TODAY is covering everything to know about your odds, how to buy tickets, the history of Powerball winners and more.
