Saturday's Powerball jackpot among biggest ever

Powerball is in mega-jackpot territory again.

 

With no winner Wednesday night, the current prize is $415 million, cracking the list of top 10 lottery jackpots of all-time.

 

It’s currently ninth on that list – and the seventh largest Powerball prize ever.

The next drawing is Saturday night.

The biggest jackpot ever, a nearly $1.6 billion prize, was shared by three winning tickets back in January.

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 are 1 in 292.2 million.  

Powerball is played in 44 states – including Delaware - as well as the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
