When the Powerball drawing is announced at 11:00pm, the $800 million jackpot will be the highest jackpot ever.
UPDATE: Since the original writing of this article, the jackpot has risen to $900 million.
Wednesday's drawing drew in so many tickets that the estimated jackpot actually increased more than expected. The same happened Thursday and Friday which saw Saturday's jackpot increase from $700 million to $800 million. If you take the winnings in one lump sum, the jackpot is worth $496 million.
Did you buy your tickets yet?
