The estimated $825 million prize for Saturday's Powerball drawing will be the third-largest ever.

The Wednesday drawing, which offered a top reward of $750 million, saw no one match all six numbers (white balls 23, 35, 45, 66, 67, and red Powerball 20). The prize on Monday would have been the seventh-largest ever for Powerball.

If the jackpot winner choose the annuity option, the prize pool will be worth $850 million. The winner would receive $441.9 million if they chose to collect their prize as a lump sum. Both sums are unadjusted for taxes.
