ATLANTA -- The jackpot for Wednesday's Powerball drawing is at an estimated $170 million to a single annuity winner. A ticket is $1 per play for an exciting chance to win big bucks.

For Wednesday's Powerball drawing, any lucky player who matches all five white ball numbers, along with the Powerball, could win the jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated payments. Or a player could select the cash option and win a single check worth more than $81 million.

Any Georgia Lottery retailer who sells a winning Powerball jackpot ticket can earn the $25,000 retailer incentive bonus payment. If more than one winning jackpot ticket is sold in Georgia, the retailers selling the winning tickets will share the $25,000 retailer incentive bonus.

Proceeds from Powerball will benefit education in the state of Georgia.

Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned more than $11.4 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Pre-K Program. More than 1.2 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.

You can watch the live Powerball drawing on WSB-TV right before Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11 p.m. on Wednesday.
