Time to buy a ticket and say a prayer — the Powerball bonanza for Wednesday’s drawing is worth roughly $400 million.

The eye-popping jackpot is fueled by heavy sales after nobody matched all five numbers plus the Powerball to claim Saturday’s $334 million grand prize.

Instead, three lucky winners each took home $1 million, and someone in Pennsylvania won $2 million.



The expected $400 million jackpot will be one of the biggest ever. There have only been 10 previous winning ticketholders who collected more than $300 million.

The largest Powerball jackpot ever was $590.5 million, won in Florida in May 2013. An 84-year-old woman from Florida bought the ticket after another customer let her go ahead in line.

As for Wednesday’s upcoming drawing, if no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball, the jackpot will continue to grow.

The odds of winning the life-changing top prize on a $2 bet are about 1 in 300 million, according to lottery officials.
