Powerball Jackpot Jumps To $360 Million

BRAINTREE (CBS) - With no one claiming the top prize in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, the jackpot has jumped to $360 million.

It's the seventh-largest jackpot in the history of the game which is played in most states.

If a winner decides to take a one-time cash payout, they would get an estimated $250.5 million.

If you match all five numbers except the Powerball, you could still win the $1 million second prize.

Two dollar tickets can be purchased at any of the Lottery's 7,500 retail locations.

Tickets can be purchased by 9:45 p.m., with the drawing set for Saturday at 10:59 p.m.

The last hit was on November 29, 2014.
