Powerball Jackpot Drawing Nearly $50 Million Saturday Night

Play Slots at Rushmore Casino! UNITED STATES -- In cities across the US, players will be heading to their local convenience stores to purchase their Powerball tickets for tonight's drawing, which should be nearly $50 million.

On Wednesday, no one was able to win the Powerball lottery, despite 11 different players getting 5 numbers.  With 5 numbers, these players took-home an amazing $200,000 each.

If someone wins the Powerball jackpot tonight, they could take-home nearly $22 million dollars in pure-cash, after-taxes.

Powerball is the most difficult lottery to win in the United States, which is why the prize-money is so spectacular.

Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.  If you get at least 3 numbers, you stand to receive some cash.  Many people choose the multiplier, which exponentially increases their prize.

Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players can purchase their tickets up until 10:00 PM eastern time.
