Over the summer, the Mega Millions jackpot climbed to a record-breaking $830 million. Then, it surpassed one billion. Almost two weeks after a winning draw, which was the third-largest lottery prize in history, it remained unclaimed. Eventually, two people claimed the prize anonymously. Now, the country has another chance. The Powerball jackpot’s next drawing falls this weekend on Saturday, Oct. 29, and an estimated $800 million is on the table—Powerball’s second-largest jackpot to date. The grand prize winner will have the option to split the payout through 29 years or take a lump sum at once, the cash value of which clocks in at $383.7 million. While it’ll take a Hail Mary to take home the big bucks—your chances of hitting the jackpot are one in 292.2 million, according to Powerball—there’s a modest chance of taking home a smaller prize at one in 24.9. To pick up a ticket of your own for Saturday’s drawing, visit Powerball’s website to find out where to play in your state. And may the odds be ever in your favor. More News:
