Powerball jackpot bumped up to estimated $572M after no big winner in Wednesday night’s drawing
No one matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing, which means you’re not waking up a millionaire.
It also means you can try your luck again on Saturday and this time, the jackpot will jump to an estimated $572 million.
Here are Wednesday’s winning numbers: 17, 38, 20, 9, 40 with a Powerball of 18.
The rising total comes on the heels of a lucky player in Maine who recently won the $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That was the second-largest jackpot in the history of the game.
