A record-breaking $1.4 billion Powerball jackpot is up for grabs Wednesday night. This is the sixth-largest lottery jackpot in US history, due to 40 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. The odds of winning are incredibly slim, 1 in 292.2 million, but the potential payout is massive. The winner can choose between a $1.4 billion annuity or a $634.3 million cash option. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states and territories.
