INDIANA (WLFI) - The Powerball jackpot has been steadily rising after being hit four consecutive Wednesday nights in the month of December (each time for $50 million). It now sits at roughly $151 million.

The game has yet to produce a jackpot winner this year, but thousands of Hoosiers have won cash playing Powerball. Players have won more than $810,000 in prizes on more than 115,000 winning tickets in the last nine consecutive draws.

Players have until 9:58 tonight in Indiana to buy their $2 tickets and get in on the $151 million action, and potentially be the state’s 39th Powerball jackpot winner.
