DES MOINES, Iowa—Saturday’s Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $20 million, after no one matched all six of the numbers in the midweek drawing, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.
Wednesday’s winning numbers were 5, 24, 36, 37 and 51. The Powerball was 19 and the multiplier was 4.
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $15 million jackpot.
Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $200,000 each, and there were four of those. They were sold in: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Rhode Island and West Virginia.
The top prize in Colorado was $10,000 for a ticket that matched the Powerball and four of the other numbers, Colorado Lottery officials said.
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.
