No one hit last night’s Powerball jackpot, so the top prize now rolls to an estimated $310,000,000 for Saturday night’s drawing.

This amount ties the 5th largest jackpot in the history of the game, which interestingly enough was won one year ago on February 11, 2011. The game hasn’t surpassed the $300 million mark since. The largest Powerball jackpot ever awarded was $365 million, won by a group of meat packing plant workers in Nebraska back in 2006. In Kentucky, the largest Powerball jackpot ever won, $128.6 million, was for a ticket sold on Christmas Eve 2009 to a Georgetown man.

Kentucky did have one $10,000 winner last night. The player matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball. The ticket was sold at the Kroger on Breckenridge Lane in Louisville.

Recent changes to the Powerball game have helped move the jackpot to this high level, according to the Kentucky Lottery’s President and CEO Arch Gleason. “Players have told us time and time again that they love playing for these big jackpots,” said Gleason. “We needed to make changes to the game as sales had declined and we hadn’t seen a solid jackpot run like this for awhile. By increasing the game’s price to $2, we made changes that provided better winning odds, a guaranteed $1 million cash second prize, and we hoped jackpots would grow faster. I believe this recent run has proven our point.”

Players can purchase tickets for Saturday night’s drawing until 9:58 PM EST that evening. The odds of winning the top prize are one in 175,223,510.
