The estimated cash value for Wednesday's jackpot is $634.3 million.
If no one hits the jackpot, it will grow for the next drawing Saturday.
The massive Powerball prize is the sixth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot. It's a result of 40 consecutive drawings stretching over the summer without anyone matching all of the game's six numbers.
No one has won the grand prize since May 31, and Wednesday's 41st drawing was just one fewer than the record set last year.
The odds of winning the top prize are miserable, at 1 in 292.2 million. It’s those odds that create the large jackpots that are designed to attract attention and drive up sales. Powerball officials said strong ticket sales across the country have pushed the jackpot even higher.
The $1.40 billion prize is for a sole winner who makes the rare decision to be paid over 30 years through an annuity. Nearly all winners instead take the cash option, which for Wednesday night would be an estimated $634.3 million.
Powerball tickets cost $2, and the game is offered in 45 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
