AUSTIN, Texas -- There was no jackpot winner in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, so the top prize has climbed to $337 million.
• Powerball jackpot at $337 million Thursday
• Top prize odds: 1 in 292.2 million
• Drawing at 9:59 p.m. CT
• CHECK YOUR NUMBERS: Lottery results
The next drawing is Saturday night.
The jackpot has rolled over 17 times since April, when someone in Arizona hit a $60 million jackpot.
The chances of winning the big prize are about 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Powerball website.
If that doesn’t discourage you, make sure to buy your ticket before the 10 p.m. ET cutoff time.
Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Whoever wins that money can take it in a lump sum cash payment or choose to have it paid out over 29 years.
The lump sum payment after taxes is nearly $209.1 million.

Nothing wrong with dying doing the things you love and setting a world record or two at the same time.
