Posted: Updated:

SOUTH CAROLINA (WMBF) - As if turkey leftovers and watching endless football games with family and friends didn't make for a great weekend, how about $325 million?

After no one walked away with Wednesday night's Powerball Jackpot of $250 million, Saturday's drawing will offer a prize of $325 million.

Historically, this jackpot ranks as the fourth largest in game history, so choose your numbers wisely.

Saturday night's estimated $325 million jackpot offers a cash option of $212 million. South Carolinians must purchase Powerball tickets by 9:59 p.m. for the 10:59 p.m. drawing.

Powerball tickets cost $2 and are available at lottery retailers statewide. The odds of winning the jackpot are long, about 1 in 176 million.
