The excitement is growing for the March 26 Powerball jackpot, which has risen to $40 million. The drawing will take place Wednesday at 11 p.m. EST.

The odds of winning the jackpot, which equates to a $22.9 million cash value, are approximately 1 in 175.2 million. However, players will have a better chance of winning a smaller prize since the odds are 1 in 32.

It costs just $2 to get in the game, while an additional $1 will allow you to add the Power Play multiplier per play. The $2 tickets allow players to pick five numbers from 1 to 59, and a Powerball number from 1 to 35.

One person won the $96.5 million Powerball jackpot on Saturday, March 22. The winning ticket was sold in Missouri. The lucky numbers were 13, 28, 31, 55, 58 and the Powerball number was 15.

Powerball is played in 43 states, in addition to the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on the state you're in, the draw entry will close either one or two hours before the actual drawing, according to the Powerball website. Powerball winning numbers are drawn live every Wednesday and Saturday night at 11 p.m. EST.
