No Winner In $390M Powerball Drawing; Jackpot To Climb To $450M
DES MOINES, Iowa (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Lottery officials say no jackpot winner was selected in the latest $390 million Powerball drawing.
The next drawing will be Wednesday after no one matched Saturday's winning numbers. The numbers were 5, 10, 21, 34, 58 and the Powerball was 33.
Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager for the Multi-State Lottery Association, which oversees Powerball, said the estimated value of Wednesday's drawing will be $450 million.

The huge jackpot is a return to form for Powerball, which has been known, along with Mega Millions, for its record-breaking jackpots in recent years. But the Powerball lottery has experienced a slump, with nearly a year passing since its jackpot total climbed above $300 million.
One lottery player from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, told 1010 WINS' Derricke Dennis he doesn't even want the full jackpot.
"Definitely half or 25 percent of that," the man said with a laugh. "It would be great."
A woman from Deer Park, Long Island, said she would spend the money on taking care of family and traveling.
Powerball's last major jackpot was in February 2014, when it climbed to $425 million.
Powerball tickets cost $2 each.
