The $400 million jackpot is equal to $230.3 million in cash, if the winner opts for the cash payout, which most do.
They also have the option of receiving the jackpot in annuity payments, which no one has selected in the last several years.
The record Powerball jackpot was $590.5 million, won in May by an octogenarian of modest means in Florida.
The second-largest jackpot of $587 million was split by two players -- one from Arizona and one from Missouri -- in November 2012.
