Powerball drawings are Wednesdays and Saturdays and are offered in the 44 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Winners who don’t want their prize money in one lump-sum payment have the option of receiving the entire $267 million jackpot split up over 30 years.
With no six-number match yet, the Powerball jackpot continues to climb.

A California man who won $1million in the Powerball lottery claims he has an online psychic to thank for the windfall. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.
