DES MOINES, Iowa—The Powerball jackpot will grow to an estimated $109 million for Saturday since no one matched all six numbers in the midweek drawing.
The randomly selected numbers on Wednesday were 16, 18, 20, 30 and 48. The Powerball was 6 and the multiplier was 2.
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $95.9 million jackpot.
Five tickets nationwide matched the first five numbers only to win $200,000 each. Arizona, North Carolina and West Virginia each sold one, and Tennessee sold two.
The top prize in Colorado was $20,000 for a Power Play ticket that matched the Powerball, plus four of the other numbers.
Powerball was created in 1992 and launched in Colorado in 2001.
The game is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
