There are only a few more hours left for people to buy a chance to become one of America’s billionaires.

The Powerball jackpot’s value as of Wednesday morning is an estimated $1.2 billion, unless the winner opts for the cash value of $596.7 million.

The next drawing can be seen on 21 News at 11 on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

If a player wins Wednesday’s jackpot, it will be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, and fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

Wednesday’s jackpot has grown to be Powerball’s largest prize in more than six years. The Powerball jackpot was last hit on August 3 in Pennsylvania. Since then, there have been 38 Powerball drawings in a row without a grand prize winner.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play.
