Powerball tickets cost $2, but someone could have one that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars more.
Tonight's Powerball drawing is at $550 million. This is the highest Powerball jackpot and the second highest lottery prize this year. The Mega Millions was at $656 million earlier this year. A winner who takes the lump sum payment would get more than $360 million. Several gas stations across the region say ticket sales have been going great in recent days. Powerball officials say there's a 75% chance someone will win tonight's drawing, which will happen at 11:00 PM.
