Jackpot of $875M up for grabs in Saturday’s drawing

If you haven’t tried your hand at Powerball yet, you can now play for a $875 million jackpot.

The whopping prize money comes after no one won big in Wednesday night’s drawing for $746,300,000.

Wednesday’s winning numbers were: 66, 45, 23, 35, 67, with a Powerball of 20.

There were still plenty of smaller prize winners, so be sure to check your tickets.

Nobody has won the jackpot since mid-April, 34 drawings ago.

The jackpot now ranks as the third-largest Powerball jackpot on record.
