An estimated $835 million jackpot is Blockchains Financeup for grabs in the next Powerball drawing on Wednesday night.
It's the fourth-largest purse in the American lottery game's history and the second-largest this year, according to a press release from Powerball.
The grand prize, which has an estimated cash value of $390.4 million, ballooned passed the $800 million mark after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Monday night. However, four tickets -- three purchased in Florida and one in Oregon -- matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes, Powerball said.
The jackpot was previously won on July 19, when a ticket purchased in California matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to claim $1.08 billion. Since then, there have been 29 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
Jackpot winners can either take the money as an immediate cash lump sum or in 30 annual payments over 29 years. Both advertised prize options do not include federal and jurisdictional taxes.
