Six weeks of Powerball drawings, six weeks without anyone hitting the jackpot.
That's the takeaway from Wednesday's $261.6 million drawing when for the 12th consecutive time no one will take home the big prize.
Saturday's drawing will be worth at least $320 million with a cash option of $198.3 million.
The numbers selected Wednesday were 13, 14, 17, 43 and 54. The Powerball was 15.
Tickets sold in Florida, Kentucky and Ohio matched five numbers but not the Powerball and are worth $1 million each before taxes.
In New Jersey four tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball. Those winners received $10,000 apiece.
The last Powerball jackpot winner was Dave Honeywell, who won a $217 million jackpot for the Feb. 6 drawing with a ticket purchased at Richmond International Airport in Virginia.
Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
