Powerball jackpot swells to $415 million

DES MOINES, IA -- The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $415 million, making it the largest since a record-setting prize in January.

Do you have a strategy when it comes to playing Powerball?

Although $415 million is nothing to turn your nose up at, it's far smaller than the largest-ever $1.6 billion jackpot that prompted some to wait in hours-long lines outside lottery retailers. Three people bought winning tickets for that prize in January.

Powerball is played in 44 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The odds of winning are one in 292.2 million.
