Did you get your ticket before tonight’s powerball? The powerball has now been raised to $900 million, reaching a record breaking drawing, according to Texas Lottery officials.

Tonight’s jackpot cash value is $558 million, lottery officials said. The winning numbers will be announced at 10:59 p.m. ET.

If there are no jackpot winners tonight, the jackpot will rise to $1.3 billion for Wednesday’s drawing, officials said.

As they say, you have to be in it to win it.

Here’s some useful tips. Instead of picking numbers, leave the number picking to the computer.

About 70 percent of past winners used Quick Picks, the computer system that spits out numbers, according to the official Powerball website.

Second, stay anonymous if you can. You don’t want the vultures after you 🙂

Good luck!
