Powerball jackpot ballooned to whopping $681M ahead of pre-Thanksgiving drawing

The Powerball jackpot ballooned to a massive  $681 million ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing — as contestants are hoping they have a lot more to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

The life-changing fortune has steadily increased over the past nearly three months as no one has won the big prize since Sept. 6.

The latest drawing took place Monday, with no lucky winners ahead of Wednesday’s new chance of hitting green.

While the jackpot is close to $700 million, the cash value is about $315.7 million, according to lotto officials.

The largest Powerball grand prize ever clinched is when Californian Edwin Castro raked in the $2.04 billion pool on Nov. 7, 2022.
