This impressive jackpot hit the billion-dollar mark for the second occasion this year, following a series of drawings without a winner. After the previous Wednesday’s draw failed to produce a jackpot winner, the prize money surged once more. Should a lucky winner emerge, they stand to claim a cash value of $457.7 million.

The jackpot has been on an upward trajectory since September 6, when the last winners beat the daunting odds of 1 in 292.2 million. Without a winner on Saturday, the prize will continue to grow, further intensifying the excitement surrounding the game.

The current jackpot has been rolling since Sept. 6, when those two winners beat odds of 1 in 292.2 million. 

The current jackpot is the seventh largest in the game’s history and will continue to climb if no one wins Saturday evening.
