The drawing will be this Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time in Tallahassee, Florida. To have a chance at winning the jackpot, players must buy a $2 ticket before the drawing and choose all six numbers correctly.

There hasn't been a Powerball winner since June 10, which means the prize pool has been growing every day since then.
In reality, you probably won't be the lucky winner -- the odds of winning the jackpot are one in 292.2 million. But you do have much better odds of one in 25 of winning a lesser prize.
