Powerball jackpot rises to near-record level

Posted: Updated:
EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

The multi-state Powerball lottery drawing is headed for a possible record.

Tonight's jackpot has risen to 320-million-dollars.

The cash option is $213.3 million. That's the fourth largest in Powerball jackpot history.

That number should keep growing as people buy more lottery tickets before the drawing.

The biggest Powerball prize ever won was six years ago: 365-million-dollars.
