The Powerball jackpot continued to grow after no ticket matched all six numbers Wednesday night to claim the $576 million top prize.
The jackpot is currently at an estimated $620 million – with a one-off cash payout option of $310.8 million – heading into Saturday night’s draw.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were 27, 35, 41, 56, and 60 with the red Powerball number 16.
The Power Play option is 2X. There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the top prize, according to the game.
Two lucky winners – one in Kentucky and the other in Rhode Island – won $1 million after matching all five white numbers, the game announced Wednesday night.
Three other players in Colorado, Kentucky, and Virginia won $2 million with Power Play picks.
The last time a Powerball player claimed a winning jackpot was in the Oct. 11 draw when a Californian claimed a $1.765 billion prize – the second largest jackpot ever offered by the game.
The second billion-dollar prize won in 2023 took place on July 19 when another Californian won $1.08 billion, the lottery said.
The jackpot is the fourth largest prize ever.
