Thursday, February 28, 2008 posted 11:11 AM EST
With no winners from Wednesday night's drawing, the Powerball jackpot is expected to soar past $153 million.
The numbers drawn were 20, 24, 37, 48 and 53, with a Powerball of 11. Players were vying for a grand prize of $135 million.
There were 11 tickets sold that matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball, meaning they were worth $200,000 apiece.
Two were sold in Missouri and Pennsylvania, and one each in Arizona, Connecticut, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, New Hampshire and
South Carolina.
Saturday's jackpot is projected to be $153 million.
