CINCINNATI -- The largest lottery jackpot in the world is up for grabs in the latest Powerball drawing.

The prize has climbed to an estimated $1.5 billion, easily surpassing all other lotteries.

In Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, you have until 10 p.m. to purchase a ticket. Here's a handy countdown clock so you don't forget:

Watch 9 On Your Side at 11 p.m. to see the Powerball drawing. It's the only place you can watch the winning numbers picked live.

The jackpot for the twice-weekly game started at $40 million on Nov. 4. No one has matched all six Powerball numbers since then, so the prize kept growing.

Lottery officials expect at least 80 percent of the 292.2 million number combinations will be purchased before the drawing.
