If luck is on someone’s side tonight, their life will undergo a profound transformation when they successfully match five numbers ranging from 1 to 69, along with one number between 1 and 26. These numbers must align with the five white balls and single red ball that will be selected shortly before 11 p.m.
Tonight, there is a possibility that the second-largest lottery jackpot in history might be given out.
According to Fox News, the Powerball jackpot tonight is projected to surpass $700 million, potentially becoming the second-highest jackpot ever recorded in US lottery history. Fox News has compiled a list of the top ten largest jackpots in US lottery history on its website.

Until 9:45 p.m., you can purchase Powerball tickets for tonight’s drawing at a cost of $2.
The Michigan slump
It has been quite some time since a resident of Michigan won the Powerball jackpot, specifically on September 30, 2015, when Julie Leach became a millionaire with a whopping $310.5 million. However, tonight’s jackpot has soared to over $700 million, sparking a frenzy of ticket purchases at various retail lottery outlets across the state. Additionally, many people will be trying their luck by purchasing tickets online through the Michigan Lottery’s official website.
TV6 reported that if there are no more than two winning tickets, the lottery prize in Michigan would surpass the current record held by Donald Lawson. Mr. Lawson won a Powerball jackpot of $337 million on August 15, 2012.
Expect plenty of last minute online ticket buys
Michigan is among just four states that offer online lottery ticket sales. This convenience is expected to boost the number of tickets bought for tonight’s draw, especially as more people purchase them throughout the day and the jackpot amount increases.
As the clock approaches 10:59 p.m., it is expected that there will be a surge in last-minute online purchases.
