Where to Buy Powerball Tickets in Greenbelt: $425 Million Jackpot

The jackpot was increased again from $400 million to $425 million.

UPDATE—No one matched the winning numbers in the Saturday's Powerball drawing, according to the Maryland lottery. 

The Powerball jackpot has now climbed to $425 million. The cash payout value would be $244.7 million, according to www.powerball.com. It's not expected to go up again before Wednesday's drawing.

The prize is far short of the record jackpot. In 2012, a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot had three winning tickets, including one split among three school employees in Maryland. The largest Powerball jackpot on record is $600 million, which was awarded in May.

If you’re feeling lucky, the odds of matching the five winning numbers and the Powerball are 175,223,510 to 1, according to the game’s website. That’s less than the odds of picking a perfect March Madness bracket (13,460,000 to 1), getting a hole in one (5,000 to 1) or being struck by lightning (3,000 to 1).

You can buy Powerball tickets in Greenbelt at any lottery vendor, including:
