Anticipation mounts for $900 million Powerball drawing
CBSN
The Powerball jackpot increased to an estimated $900 million after nobody won Saturday night. It is now the third-largest jackpot in the game's history and the seventh-highest in U.S. lottery history.
With the odds of winning just 1 in 292,201,338, there have been 37 drawings since the Powerball jackpot was last claimed in April.
Should someone win Monday night, they would have the option to claim the $900 million in annual payouts, or a lump sum cash payment of $465.1 million, according to the lottery. Both figures are before taxes.
