There were no winners for the $500 million drawing earlier this week, so the jackpot rose to $535 million.
If you get lucky enough to pick all six numbers and win the big prize, you could instead opt to take the cash option of $268.2 million, which is still a pretty solid payday.
Watch the Powerball drawing LIVE tonight on Channel 2 just before WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.
