DES MOINES, Iowa (NEWSnet/AP) — Didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot?

Don’t fret. There’s an $865 million Powerball jackpot up for grabs Wednesday night.

Like that $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize won Tuesday, the Powerball jackpot has been growing for months. No one has claimed the top prize since Jan. 1, meaning 36 consecutive drawings were held without a winner.

The game’s odds: 1 in 292.2 million.

The $865 million prize is for a sole winner who is paid over 30 years through an annuity. Winners typically  choose a cash payout, which for this drawing is an estimated $416.1 million.
