At World Lottery we’re always keeping an eye out for the biggest lottery jackpots in the world and after the Powerball Lottery rolls for a month, its jackpot for tonight’s draw is up to almost $100 million. The Powerball Lottery jackpot has not been won since April 23rd and now it’s the biggest lottery jackpot across America. The midweek Powerball Lottery draw takes place this evening and with an estimated $97 million jackpot, ticket sales are likely to be high.

On 23rd April 2011, Bill Swanson from Indiana scooped $74 million when he matched all the winning numbers in the Powerball Lottery draw. However, since then, no one has had so much luck. Every Wednesday and Saturday, the Powerball Lottery jackpot has climbed, and now it has almost reached the nine-figure $100 million milestone!

Tonight’s draw, if not won will surely push the jackpot up over that notable milestone, and it’s the $100 million that sees lottery fever sweep the country. With $97 million up for grabs tonight, it’s still likely to catch the attention of lottery players and ticket sales are likely to be high.

If you are playing the Powerball Lottery draw this evening, then do remember that tax and annuity options mean that the actual jackpot is worth slightly less than advertised. Should tonight’s winner choose the cash option, then the $97 million will actually be around $50 million, before Uncle Sam takes his share of course.

Good luck all those buying lottery tickets for the $97 million Powerball Lottery draw, don’t forget to check back for the lottery results!
