Powerball Lottery Jackpot Rolls After No Winner Wednesday

The Powerball Lottery and the Mega Millions Lottery are both lottery systems set up to operate over several different states. The games are linked together, and the payouts can get to extremely high numbers relatively quickly.

The Powerball Lottery jackpot has started that climb after Wednesday night's drawing. Not one ticket matched all five numbers and the Powerball, and now the jackpot will rise to an estimated $20 million on Saturday.

Four tickets across the states matched all five numbers, but fell short of winning when they failed to match the Powerball. They were sold in Tennessee, Wisconsin, and two in Pennsylvania. Those people will each win 200,000.

The Mega Millions jackpot has already grown twice to outrageous numbers. The first few months of the year nobody even won the top prize. Then, after a large payout, the game went another few weeks with nobody hitting. It paid out another big number after that.

The Powerball Lottery game will now start to rise and see if it can reach the triple digit figures that accompanied the Mega Millions this year. The winning numbers for Powerball from Wednesday were, 11,21,31,32, and 35. The Powerball number was 3.
