The Powerball grand prize is growing once again after no winning jackpot tickets were sold for Wednesday’s drawing. The big prize for the next drawing on Saturday is now an estimated $875 million, according to the lottery’s website, with an estimated $441.9 million lump-sum cash value before tax. The last jackpot won was on April 19 when a winning ticket in Ohio earned $252.6 million. The record for the largest-ever Powerball prize jackpot is $2.04 billion, which was won in California last November. And because no winners were drawn in Tuesday’s Mega Millions, there are now two jackpots that could each award more than half a billion dollars to a winning ticket.
