It seems that Saturday night's Powerball lottery draws didn't make anyone a multi-millionaire.
After posting a whopping jackpot of $270 million, no one was able to correctly pick all six winning numbers, failing to bring home the prize. Now, Powerball's Wednesday jackpot has swelled to $350 million-the third highest Powerball prize ever.
Saturday's winning numbers were 6-13-19-23-43, with 16 as the Powerball number.
Weekend's jackpot prize would have made someone $175.8 million richer if taken as a lump sum of money, or it could have supported the winner for the next 29 years if taken as annuity says Powerball as reported by NBC News.
The lottery organization also noted that Powerball betters have a 175.2 million chance of hitting the jackpot on the $2 number betting game.
While every better failed to hit all six numbers, three tickets won more than half a million. Three betters were able to hit five of the six Powerball numbers, winning $573,000 each. One of those tickets was sold at Petaluma in the Bay Area in California.
In Paw Paw, Michigan, one couple won $1 million in Saturday night's draw, as well. MLive.com reported that the winning ticket was sold in Mike's North 40 Sports Bar & Grill.
"They are really happy. And I'm just as excited as they were," Mike McDonald, owner of the sports bar and grill, told MLive. "They are really good customers of ours. It couldn't have happened to nicer people."
McDonald also noted that the couple will be revealing their identities when they are ready.
The report also noted that another winning ticket was sold in Southfield, Michigan at the Treasure Island Wine Shoppe.
So far, Saturday night's lottery draw marks the 12th straight Powerball draw without a grand prize winner.
The next Powerball lottery draw will happen on Wednesday, May 15, at 10:59 pm ET. Winning numbers will be posted on Powerball.com and the draws will be streamed live on www.powerballlive.com.
