Powerball jackpot soars to record-breaking $725 million

The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $725 million after no winning ticket was sold in Wednesday night's drawing. This would be the third-largest Powerball prize this year and the eighth-largest in the game's history. If there is a winner on Saturday, they can choose to receive the jackpot in graduated payments over 29 years or take a lump sum of approximately $345.7 million. While no one won the top prize, over 1 million tickets won smaller prizes in Wednesday's drawing.
