No one picked all six winning numbers on Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, raising the jackpot to $1.4 billion. There’s still a chance to become a winner on Saturday’s drawing.
Wednesday’s Powerball drawing didn’t produce any big winners, raising the jackpot to $1.4 billion for the next drawing this Saturday and luring players to a former winning spot.
This estimated jackpot ranks as the third largest in the Powerball game and fifth largest among all U.S. lottery jackpots, according to Multi-State Lottery Assn.’s news release. It will also be the 34th drawing in the jackpot run without a player matching all six numbers, and the first time in Powerball history that back-to-back cycles have generated billion-dollar grand prizes.
The Powerball jackpot was previously won in July, with the big winner claiming about $1 billion.
