The excitement keeps growing for the Oct. 26 Powerball jackpot that now stands at a whopping $40 million. The drawing will take place Saturday at 11 p.m. EST.

The odds of winning the jackpot, which equates to a $23.1 million cash value, are approximately 1 in 175.2 million. However, players will have a better chance of winning a smaller prize, with odds at 1 in 32.

It just costs $2 to get in the game, while an additional $1 will allow you to add the Power Play multiplier per play. The $2 tickets allow players to pick five numbers from 1 to 59, and a Powerball number from 1 to 35.

The Powerball game is played in 43 states, in addition to the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on the state you're in, the draw entry will close either one or two hours before the actual drawing, according to the Powerball website. The Powerball winning numbers are drawn live every Wednesday and Saturday night.

A winning ticket sold in California received the $213 million Powerball jackpot prize on Oct. 23, according to the Powerball website. The lucky numbers were: 03, 23, 31, 34, 47 and the Powerball number was 13.
