WASHINGTON — With no jackpot winner emerging from Wednesday’s $593 million draw, the Powerball prize has now climbed to a substantial $629 million. This increase edges it ever closer to ranking among the top 10 largest jackpots in the game’s history. 

This growing jackpot continues to swell since the last massive win in September, when the colossal $1.8 billion was split between winners in Missouri and Texas. This event marked one of the most significant lottery payouts ever recorded in the United States.

While Powerball’s jackpot continues to rise, Mega Millions recently concluded its own streak without a major winner. A ticket sold in Newnan, Georgia, broke the dry spell with a prize close to a billion dollars.

Don’t forget to check your tickets for a chance at a life-changing win:

The winning numbers for Saturday were 28-32-36-51-69 with Powerball number 2 and Power Play 2x.

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
