Powerball Jackpot Grows For Saturday Drawing

The Powerball jackpot swelled after no one matched all the winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing.

Players are grabbing tickets in hopes of capturing the $270 million jackpot, or a $175.8 million cash prize, in Saturday's drawing.

$270 million is quite a cash haul but far from the record. The largest Powerball jackpot ever, totaling $587.5 million, came in November when a Missouri couple and an Arizona man split the winnings.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is 1:175,223,510.

Don't laugh. It could happen. Remember this South Dakotan?
