Powerball $825M drawing tonight is second-largest in jackpot history

There are 825 million reasons to play Powerball tonight!

After 36 consecutive drawings, no one has won the Powerball jackpot, bringing the payload of cash to $825 million.

Tonight’s drawing will be held at 10:59 p.m. ET.

According to lottery officials, tonight’s drawing will be the second-largest jackpot in the game’s history.
