US

If you missed out on this week’s $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot, you still have a chance to become fabulously wealthy Wednesday night.

The Powerball jackpot has grown to $865 million, a cash value of $416.1 million, ahead of Wednesday’s drawing.

This is the game’s fifth-largest jackpot in the game’s history, according to Powerball.

The Powerball jackpot was last hit on Jan. 1. There have been 36 consecutive drawings with no wins.

There were no winners in Monday night’s drawing — with winning numbers 7, 11, 19, 53, 68 and a Powerball of 23 — but people in Florida and New York each won $1 million for matching the white balls.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.

The drawing will be held just before 11 p.m. ET.
