There was no winner in last night’s Powerball drawing, sending the jackpot soaring to an estimated $1.7 billion for Saturday night’s drawing.
The prize now ranks as the third-largest in Powerball history, with a cash value estimated at $770.3 million for a lump-sum payout.
The odds of hitting all six numbers remain 1 in 292.2 million, but that isn’t slowing down hopeful players lining up at gas stations and convenience stores across Texas.
The last time someone claimed the jackpot was in July, when a California player took home $1.08 billion. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 9:59 p.m. Central.
