There was no winner of the $1 billion Powerball drawing on Saturday — sending the jackpot soaring even higher.
The winning numbers were: 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and Powerball 17.
The jackpot now stands at $1.10 billion.
Despite the big prize going unclaimed, three Match 5 + Power Play ticket holders won $2 million prizes and nine people put $1 million in their pocket, thanks to Match 5.
The next Powerball drawing will take place on Monday, which is Labor Day.
Any jackpot lucky winner could choose to take home a lump sum of over $498.4 million — before taxes — or the full $1.10 billion in annuity payments, which start at over $4.5 million and increase by 5% each year to $18.7 million over the next three decades.
Powerball is on a near three-month drought, not having been won since a ticket worth $204.5 million was sold in California on May 31.
