The Powerball jackpot is now worth an estimated $400 million.

The prize--the cash option is worth $244.8 million--has ballooned without a jackpot winner since Nov. 4.

The Saturday drawing also failed to produce a jackpot winner. The last jackpot winning ticket was sold in Tennessee for the Nov. 4 drawing.

The last Powerball jackpot winning ticket sold in New Jersey came on March 25. Four friends from Dumont split the $40 million payout.

The odds of winning the jackpot on a single $2 ticket are 1:292,201,338.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The next drawing is 10:59 p.m. Wednesday. Tune into to PIX11 in New York or PHL17 in Philadelphia to watch.
