DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — No one won an estimated $700 million Powerball jackpot, meaning the big prize will grow to an estimated $800 million for the next drawing.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 19, 36, 37, 46 and 56. The Powerball was 24.
No one has matched all six numbers and won the Powerball jackpot since Aug. 3, allowing the prize to grow to the fifth-largest in U.S. history.
That amounts to 36 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.
The next drawing is Saturday.
The new $800 million jackpot amount is for winners who take their winnings through an annuity, paid annually over 29 years.
Nearly all winners actually choose the cash option, however, which would be $383.7 million after taxes.
