The New York Lottery today announced the jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing has been increased to $320,000,000.
The $60,000,000 jump from Wednesday’s advertised jackpot is due to brisk sales across all participating Powerball states.
The new jackpot marks the sixth largest Powerball jackpot in the game's 20-year history. The largest Powerball jackpot to date was $587.5 million, won in Arizona and Missouri in November 2012.
If no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in Saturday night’s drawing, the jackpot will continue to grow.
