CLEVELAND — Feeling lucky? While the Mega Millions jackpot has now soared to $1.1 billion for the next drawing on Tuesday night, the Powerball jackpot is also worth a massive $800 million -- and that drawing happens at 10:59 p.m. tonight!
If anybody hits the top prize, they'll have the choice to take the cash option, which is worth a cool $384.8 million.
The Ohio Lottery says sales for the Powerball game end at 10 p.m. on each day of the drawing.
Powerball lottery officials say the odds of hitting the jackpot are one in 292,201,338.00, which is slightly better than the Mega Millions odds of one in 302,575,350. The odds of hitting a $1 million winning ticket in Powerball, meanwhile, are one in 11,688,053.52.
Northeast Ohio had a big Powerball winner last year as one lucky ticket sold at a GetGo in Macedonia hit the jackpot worth $252.6 million during the April 19 drawing.
