If your ticket matches these winning numbers, congratulations! You’re poised to claim the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

This impressive jackpot has been accumulating since September, following a $1.787 billion prize that was split between two lucky ticket holders in Missouri and Texas, marking the second-biggest prize in both Mega Millions and Powerball history.

Before deciding on your payout option, experts recommend you do two things if you win the Powerball jackpot: sign the back of the ticket and keep your victory a secret for as long as possible. You won’t be able to do the latter forever, depending on where you live.

Experts also suggest you build a team of people you can tell, like a financial advisor, a tax advisor, and a lawyer.

As long as you matched at least the red Powerball, your ticket is worth some money. Not including the grand prize, there are eight ways to win while playing Powerball.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. The lottery game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 each, with the Power Play option available in participating states for $1 more.
