The sixth largest Powerball in the game’s history is up for grabs tonight.

It’s an estimated $670 million.

Brian Chadbourne, a cashier at waldo’s general store in Falmouth told CBS13 News that he’s seeing about every third customer buy a lottery ticket ahead of tonight’s drawing.

If there is a winner, the person can take either the cash option where they’ll get 60% of the lump sum or a 30 year payout where over time they’ll end up getting the full amount.

The drawing will take place tonight at 10:59 p.m.
