No big winner, Powerball jackpot jumps to $935 million for Saturday's drawing
MIAMI - If you had high hopes of winning Wednesday's Powerball jackpot of $865 million, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
You didn't win, but then again no one else did either.
The winning numbers were 37-46-57-60-66 and the Powerball number was 8.
That means for Saturday's drawing, the jackpot has increased to an estimated $935 million.
If there is a sole winner, they will have the choice between an annuity, with an initial payment and then 29 annual payments, or a one time lump sum payment. Most winners choose a cash payout. For Saturday night's jackpot, that would be an estimated $449.7 million.
No one has won the Powerball jackpot since New Year's Day, making it 37 straight drawings without a big winner. That is not really a big surprise since the odds of winning are not in a player's favor - 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball drawings are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. Tickets cost two bucks apiece.
You can watch the Powerball drawings live on CBS News Miami at 11.
