Don't Forget A Ticket! Saturday's Powerball Jackpot Grows To $334 Million

DETROIT (WWJ) – Wouldn't it be nice to start the new year as a millionaire?

The prize for Saturday's Powerball drawing is an estimated $334 million — and it's possible that figure could grow before the big drawing, which takes place at 10:59 p.m.

The cash option is estimated around $205 million.

It's the twelfth largest jackpot in Powerball history.

The odds of winning the jackpot are slim to none — one in 175 million — but not totally impossible.

The last big Powerball winner in Michigan was a Three Rivers woman who won a $310 million jackpot in the September 30 drawing.

So don't forget a ticket, which cost $2 a draw. You can't win if you don't play! Tickets can be purchased until 9:45 p.m. Saturday.
