A $1 billion jackpot will be at stake in Saturday evening's drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, the 14th-largest jackpot in U.S. history.

A ticket with all five numbers and the Powerball number has not been sold since Sept. 6, 40 drawings ago.

The jackpot is the seventh-largest in the history of the Powerball game, which began in 1992. There have been seven larger jackpots for the Mega Millions game, which began in 1996 as The Big Game and was given the new name Mega Millions in 2002.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.
