Players across the United States will be checking their tickets Saturday night as the Powerball grand prize reaches an estimated $360 million , with a $149.8 million cash option available to anyone who matches all six numbers.

With no ticket matching all six numbers, the prize rolled forward to Saturday as a new winner is sought.

What happens if someone wins $360 million?

If someone claims the $360m jackpot then the winner would have two payment options. The first is that the advertised prize can be taken as an annuity consisting of 30 graduated payments over 29 years . Alternatively, the winner can choose the estimated $149.8 million lump-sum cash option . Both amounts are calculated before applicable federal and state or jurisdictional taxes. Winning the jackpot requires matching five white balls selected from numbers 1 through 69 and one red Powerball from numbers 1 through 26. The odds of doing that are approximately 1 in 292.2 million . The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are about 1 in 24.9 ahead of Saturday’s drawing takes place at 22:59 ET . Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play and Power Play can be added for an additional $1 in most participating jurisdictions and increases many non-jackpot prizes. The record prize won is $2.04 billion , claimed by a ticket in California in November 2022 . But for now, the immediate question is whether Saturday finally produces a jackpot winner . If nobody matches all six numbers again, the prize will roll over and climb higher for Monday night.
