The Powerball craze surges on in Southern California, as the jackpot grows to $825 million, the fifth largest in U.S. history.

Saturday night’s drawing deadline will be at 7:59 p.m. PST.

No one has hit all six numbers since Aug. 3. That’s 36 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner. The winless streak is due to the abysmal odds of winning: one in 292.2 million.

A ticket sold at a Rancho Cucamonga store hit five of the six winning Powerball numbers in Wednesday’s drawing, netting $1,556,855.
