DES MOINES, Iowa—The Powerball jackpot will grow to an estimated $20 million for Saturday since no one matched all six of the numbers in the midweek drawing, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.
Wednesday’s winning numbers were 2, 12, 17, 48 and 54. The Powerball was 2 and the multiplier was 4.
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $15 million jackpot.
Two Power Play tickets sold in Indiana and Pennsylvania matched the first five numbers only to win $800,000 each.
The top prize in Colorado was $400 apiece for 29 Power Play tickets that matched other number combinations, 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.
