No one had the winning numbers for Saturday's half-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, and the purse has now grown to over $522 million, according to the lottery officials.
There have been 38 drawings in a row without a jackpot winner. The last time someone won the Powerball was in October, when a California player matched the winning numbers for a $699.8 million jackpot.
Blank forms for the Powerball lottery sit in a bin at a local grocery store, in Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 12, 2021.
The next Powerball drawing will be Monday night.
Although no one matched Saturday's five lottery numbers and Powerball number -- 6, 12, 39, 48, 50 and 7 -- a few players did come up lucky with some runner-up prizes that had a hefty purse.
One player in Maryland won a $2 million prize for matching the five numbers and using the Power Play multiplier, while three players in Arizona, Florida and California each won $1 million for matching the five numbers, according to Powerball officials.
