The drawing in Powerball the coming Wednesday can become the biggest prize in the history.

A whopping $340 million dollars jackpot!

The current record is $315 million from 2002 won by Jack Whitaker of Scott Depot, West Virginia.

The odds against matching five numbered balls (out of 55) and one red ball (out of 42) to win the grand prize add up to one in 146,107,962. This does not seem to keep people away from betting, officials expect a lot of buyers of tickets.
