No grand prize winner in last night's Powerball drawing means the jackpot now stands at 310 million dollars.
For those hoping to strike it rich, the popular multi-state lottery's recent ticket price increase has improved the overall odds of winning.
As it stands now, your chances of hitting the jackpot are roughly one in 175 million.
Prior to the changes, the odds were closer to one in 195 million.
The next drawing takes place Saturday night.
Powerball is played in 42 states, plus Washington, DC.
