The final time a Powerball jackpot climbed so higher was May perhaps 2013 when a Florida ticket won a $590.5 million prize.
To date, Powerball holds the planet record for the largest jackpot set in 2016.
The Powerball web site says game sales are typically stronger for a Saturday drawing versus a Wednesday or Monday drawing, which signifies the jackpot will be pushed higher on those days.
The jackpot for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing was worth far more than $632 million.
