The nation’s eighth-largest lottery jackpot has reached $478 million, and the Powerball winning numbers (5 numbers plus one powerball) will be drawn at 10:59 p.m. Eastern time Saturday night. The last winning ticket was sold almost 3 months ago, when the jackpot reached $429 million. Tonight’s jackpot is a far way from January’s record $1.6 billion Powerball payout. The odds of a winning ticket in Saturday night’s drawing are incredibly small: one in 292.2 million. If there isn’t a winner, the jackpot will increase and another drawing will be held Wednesday
