Powerball jackpot grows to $1.6 billion after Saturday's drawing

That's one hot ticket

That's one hot ticket.

The Powerball jackpot grew to $1.6 billion after no winner was drawn Saturday night.

The prize, which has an upfront cash value of $735.3 million before taxes, is now the fourth largest in the Powerball history and the seventh largest among U.S. lottery jackpots.

The 45-drawing streak without a winner will continue after no one picked the winning numbers to take home Saturday's $1.5 billion jackpot.

The $2 game, played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, underwent a series of changes over the last two decades intended to boost jackpots and appeal to a broader market of ticket buyers.
