Saturday’s Powerball jackpot, with an estimated payout of $635 million, ranks among the ten largest pots in the history of the drawing.
The drawing is set for 11 p.m. ET, and the pot is the sixth-largest in Powerball history after 39 consecutive drawings without a grand-prize winner. Following an earlier total of $620 million, a surge in Powerball buyers increased the total into the weekend as the drawing nears.
With a $635 million payout, the total ranks well below the largest Powerball jackpot record of $1.6 billion in 2016.
The last winning ticket for the jackpot, worth $285.6 million, hit on June 5 and was purchased in Florida.
