Meanwhile, Saturday night's Powerball drawing is significant: the jackpot has not been won since the Jan. 15 rules changes, and the annuity is now up to $325 million on an annuity basis. That total has already set a Powerball record for a cash jackpot payout, although still lower than the top annuity prize. The Powerball cash payout will be $202.9 million.
