Powerball officials increased the estimated jackpot for Saturday night's drawing to $825 million. The game's second-largest grand prize in its history was raised because of strong ticket sales, officials said in a statement Friday.
The jackpot climbed to $800 million after no one matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing. The winning numbers were 19, 36, 37, 46, 56 and a Powerball of 24.
If someone wins the big prize Saturday, they could choose to receive their millions spread out over 29 years or go with a one-time cash payout, which was estimated to be over $410 million.
