The Powerball jackpot continues to rise after no tickets matched all six numbers Wednesday night to claim the $576 million grand prize.
The jackpot now sits at an estimated $620 million – with a one-time cash payout option of $310.8 million – ahead of Saturday night's drawing.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were 27, 35, 41, 56 and 60 with a red Powerball number of 16. The Power Play option was 2X. There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the grand prize, according to the game.
Two lucky winners – one in Kentucky and the other in Rhode Island – did win $1 million after matching all five white numbers, the game announced Wednesday night. Three more players in Colorado, Kentucky and Virginia won $2 million with the Power Play option.
