Today's Powerball Drawing at a Whopping $360M

Tickets can be purchased up to 9 p.m. today.

You just have to ask yourself one question – “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do you?

The New York Lottery announced that Wednesday’s Powerball drawing has been increased to $360 million, which is just $5 million short of being the second highest jackpot in the lottery game’s history.

The bump reflects strong sales across all participating lottery jurisdictions, according to a statement from the New York Lottery.

If no one matches all five numbers plus the Powerball in tonight’s drawing, the jackpot will continue to grow into record territory. The largest jackpot in Powerball history was $587 million, which were drawn in Missouri and Arizona on Nov. 28.

Tickets for the drawing can be purchased until 9 p.m. today.
