ORLANDO, Fla. — If you tend to play the lottery once the prize is unusually high, you might consider buying a Powerball ticket.
No big winner since September means the Dec. 1 Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $740 million.
All you need to do is match all five numbers drawn, along with the Powerball.
The Florida Lottery said your odds of doing that are 1 in 292,201,338.
But your chances of winning a prize in general are much better, at 1 in 24.9.
Be sure to watch Eyewitness News beginning at 11 p.m. Monday — to see the winning Powerball numbers.
