Odds of winning the jackpot prize are one in 175 million.
Wednesday's Powerball jackpot is now at an estimated $425 million, the third largest Powerball jackpot ever.
This jackpot started as a $40 million prize on June 26 and is the result of 12 draws without a jackpot winner.
The jackpot is the current largest jackpot available and the fourth largest jackpot in history for any lottery game.
The biggest jackpot in American history was $656 million, split among three winners last year in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland, according to NBC News. That was a Mega Millions win, which is also played in 43 states.
The largets Powerball payout was in May, when an 84-year-old Florida widow named Gloria McKenzie hit the $590 million jackpot.
In November 2012, winners in Missouri and Arizona split a $587 million Powerball prize.
Powerball is played in 43 states plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Odds of winning the jackpot prize are one in 175,223,510, and overall odds of winning any prize are one in 32.
Earlier this year, the Powerball jackpot reached a record $600 million.
