Earlier this morning when I was watching Good Morning Acadiana, the Powerball Jackpot was at $700 Million. In the past four hours, it's soared to a record $800 million!

This is the largest jackpot in powerball history, and there's a possibility it could rise even more before the drawing Saturday night.

As it stands right now, the payout option from the $800 million will be $496 million in cash.

What if this jackpot reaches $1,000,000,000?
