There was no winner in Wednesday's Powerball drawing.
That mean’s Saturday’s jackpot will be the biggest lottery prize in U.S history.
The current jackpot stands at $700 million, already up from the $675 million officials announced after no one matched last night's winning numbers - 2, 11, 47, 62, 63 and the red Powerball 17. And officials expect it to grow even higher before the weekend.
The game has not had a winner since November 4th.
Powerball is played in 44 states – including Delaware - as well as the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Delaware has not had a Powerball winner since May 2013 when an anonymous ticket holder split a $50 million jackpot.
The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s drawing is 1 in 292.2 million.
The previous largest lottery prize was a Mega Millions jackpot of $656 million in 2012.
