Powerball jackpot grows to $875 million after no winner in latest drawing
BOSTON - The Powerball jackpot now stands at $875 million after there were no winners in Wednesday night's drawing.
The winning numbers were 23, 35, 45, 66, 67 and a Powerball of 20.
The next drawing will be Saturday night. The one-time, lump sum cash value is now $441.9 million.

The biggest jackpot in both Powerball and U.S. lottery history was $2.04 billion, which was won last November by a man in California.
