The Powerball jackpot surged to an estimated $438 million with a cash option of $207 million for Wednesday's drawing.
The grand prize grew after Monday's drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner. Monday's game was offering lottery players a chance at $419 million.
The jackpot has been rolling since the who split the second-largest Powerball jackpot in history earlier this year. On Sept. 6, two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas matched all six numbers to claim a staggering $1.8 billion prize, marking one of the largest lottery wins in U.S. history.
As Powerball inches closer to half a billion dollars, even higher with an $843 million grand prize up for grabs on Friday.
