Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is now $232 million

Powerball players will have another chance to win the top prize on Saturday, Sept. 12, after no one matched all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing. The jackpot has now climbed to an estimated $232 million, with a cash option of $98.6 million.

The prize has been growing since an Illinois ticket won a $1.04 billion jackpot on Aug. 12, ending one of the game's biggest runs. Since then, a series of rollovers has pushed the jackpot higher, setting the stage for another shot at a multimillion-dollar payday when the next numbers are drawn.

Here is what you need to know about tonight's Powerball drawing.

USA TODAY will post the winning numbers after the drawing, which is scheduled for approximately 10:59 p.m. ET.
