The Powerball numbers drawn Wednesday were 2, 24, 34, 41, 48 and the Powerball was 24. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 435,361 players across the nation won a total of more than $3.6
million in prizes in America's favorite Game.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $59 million for Saturday night's drawing.
The cash option for the Saturday, October 21st drawing will be an estimated $27.7 million.
Two lucky tickets in Louisiana (1), and West Virginia (1) correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000.
Twenty-five tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
