Powerball Jackpot Rising Due to Ticket-Buying Surge
UNDATED -- An even larger Powerball jackpot is in play for Saturday night.
Game leaders increased the jackpot estimate Friday morning from $620 million to $635 million, due to increased interest in the big prize. If you take the cash option that is $450 million.
This jackpot ranks as the 6th largest in Powerball history and the 10th largest in U.S. lottery history.
The Powerball jackpot has been growing for nearly four months.
