With no one winning the Powerball jackpot Wednesday, the grand prize for Saturday’s drawing grew closer to the billion-dollar mark, according to the lottery. Wednesday’s winning numbers were: 37, 46, 57, 60, 66 and Powerball 8. The $935 million Powerball jackpot in play Saturday jumped from $865 million after no tickets matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing. It would be the fifth-largest prize in the history of the game. A jackpot winner in Saturday’s drawing could choose to receive the money in annuitized payments or take a lump sum estimated at $449.7 million. Although no jackpot was won Wednesday, three tickets still won $1 million each by matching the first five numbers. Those tickets were sold in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Texas, according to the Powerball website. This is the first Powerball jackpot to surpass $900 million this year. Powerball’s grand prize was last won in January, when a ticket in Michigan scored a $842.4 million jackpot. Since then, 37 consecutive drawings have taken place without a jackpot winner, according to Powerball.
