The Powerball jackpot will be up to $380 million on Saturday, one of the largest in the lottery’s history.

Powerball jackpots begin at $40 million and increase with each drawing that fails to produce a winner. The biggest Powerball jackpot ever awarded was $590.5 million in 2013, Reuters reports.

Powerball is played in 44 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. But before you run out to buy a ticket with hopes of the $380 million in your future, remember that the odds of winning are 1 in 175 million.
