The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.1 billion, and a winner could be named in tonight's drawing. The jackpot reached the amount after no ticket matched the winning numbers in Saturday's drawing.

Tonight marks the 40th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The estimated cash value of the prize is $498.4 million.

The jackpot is the fifth-largest in the game's history. The last jackpot was won in California on May 31.

The winner of tonight's jackpot can choose between the annuitized prize or the lump sum payment. Both prize options are before taxes.

Drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. and can be seen on 21 News at 11.
