The excitement keeps growing for the Oct. 26 Powerball jackpot that now stands at a whopping $40 million. The drawing will take place Saturday at 11 p.m. EST.
The odds of winning the jackpot, which equates to a $23.1 million cash value, are approximately 1 in 175.2 million. However, players will have a better chance of winning a smaller prize, with odds at 1 in 32.

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.
