Powerball Jackpot at $350 Million, Third-Highest Prize Ever

Saturday night's $270 million Powerball prize went unclaimed, so the jackpot for selecting the winning numbers in the next drawing on Wednesday climbs to $350 million, the third-highest prize ever for the lottery game.

Powerball tickets for each game are $2. There’s a 1 in 175.2 million chance that any ticket will win the grand prize. Get your ticket by 10 p.m. Wednesday to play. 

The $350 million Powerball jackpot is the seventh highest annuity prize in U.S. history, and the sixth highest cash payout — $222.8 million — of all-time. The biggest Powerball jackpot ever was won Nov. 28, 2012, a $587.5 million prize split between two tickets. 

The largest U.S. lottery prize ever won was $656 million in the Mega Millions drawing on March 30, 2012, split among three tickets.

Will a chance to win $350 million prompt you to play the lottery or are you a regular player?
