Lottery Saturday's $360 million Powerball jackpot will be 7th largest in game's history

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Powerball jackpot continues to climb after nearly 10 weeks without a grand prize winner and is now in the top 10 biggest Powerball jackpots of all time.

Since no one matched Wednesday's winning Powerball numbers of 24, 36, 51, 52 and 56 with the Power Ball of 22, the jackpot for Saturday's drawing has soared to $360 million, which is the seventh largest Powerball jackpot ever.

Seven players - one each in Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Tennessee - matched the first five numbers, but missed the Power Ball, so instead of winning Wednesday's $317 million jackpot, each player will settle for $1 million except for the Pennsylvania player, who purchased the Power Play option and won $2 million.

There have now been 19 consecutive Powerball drawings held without a winner since a player last hit the Powerball jackpot Nov. 29. Saturday's Powerball drawing is at 10:59 p.m.

The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing will be $49 million after no one correctly picked Tuesday's winning numbers of 11, 22, 25, 58 and 69 with the Mega Ball of 13. There have been five drawings held since a player picked the winning Mega Millions numbers Jan. 16 and won a $270 million jackpot. Friday's Mega Millions drawing is at 11 p.m., and ticket sales stop 15 minutes prior to the drawing.

No one matched Wednesday's winning Classic Lotto numbers of 8, 20, 23, 35, 36 and 38, so the jackpot for Saturday's drawing will be $2.7 million. Wednesday marked the 17th straight drawing without a jackpot winner since someone hit the jackpot Dec. 27. Saturday's drawing is at 7:05 p.m., and ticket sales stop five minutes prior to the drawing.
