Powerball jackpot nears billion-dollar milestone once again

The Powerball multi-state lottery game now offers a prize that will deliver multi-generational wealth to the fortunate player who eventually wins it all after a 30th straight drawing without a winner.

The Powerball jackpot jumped to a whopping $925 million for Saturday's drawing after Wednesday's $856.1 million top prize went unclaimed. This makes it the 9th-largest US lottery jackpot of all time and the 4th-largest Powerball payout in the game's history.

The $432.4 million cash value of Saturday's Powerball jackpot, however, is what many people pay special attention to because the majority of winners opt for the lump-sum cash option. It ranks as the ninth-largest cash value prize in the history of the US lottery and the fifteenth-largest overall.
