America was whipped into a frenzy as the Powerball jackpot soared
but no-one claimed the record prize in Saturdays draw.
However, a certain bankrupt rapper took to Instagram to joke that he almost won after having only three of the necessary six numbers.
50 Cent posted his ticket on the social network on Saturday nightly, adding: Balls. $899,999,9679 away from Jackpot. AINT THIS A B**** I ALMOST WON!!! [sic]
And now that the prize has soared to $1.3billion, it appears the lure of becoming a billionaire means the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, will continue to play.
The winning numbers for the $949.8 million Powerball jackpot on Saturday were 32-16-19-57-34 and Powerball number 13.

But despite only winning $7, the 40-year-old is determined to land the jackpot a world record as he added: Watch Im gonna win this S*** [sic].
In May 2015, Forbes estimated his net worth at $155million with income generated from music as well as his business ventures in beverages, technology and clothing.
However, the number is set to be revised after Jackson filed for bankruptcy in July last year after a jury ordered him to pay $7million to Lastonia Leviston for posting, along with mocking commentary, a sex tape of her on his personal website.
Leviston, who has a child with the Jacksons rap rival Rick Ross, said the tape destroyed her life and drove her to the brink of suicide.
He was also embroiled in an $18million lawsuit over his headphones business and said his costly legal problems forced him to file for bankruptcy.
Jackson has also been forced to drop the price of his Connecticut mansion in a bid to raise funds after his bankruptcy filing.
