A jackpot valued at $ 625 million is up for grabs at Saturday's Powerball draw. It would be the seventh largest US lottery jackpot of all time.

The estimated lump sum would be $ 380.6 million before taxes. Odds of winning are about 1 in 292.2 million.

Nobody has won the Powerball jackpot since Boxing Day. Twenty-four drawings since have failed, including Wednesday's draw.

Buyers of three tickets shared the biggest jackpot in the country. It was a Powerball prize of nearly $ 1.59 billion awarded on January 13, 2016. A South Carolina buyer has $ 1.54 billion Mega Millions jackpot. It was the second-biggest lottery lottery ever won by the country.
