No, you didn’t hit Saturday night’s $541.9 million Poweball jackpot. No one else did, either.

But you could be a new millionaire. Tickets sold in South Carolina and Tennessee won $2 million prizes, while winning tickets worth $1 million were sold in California, Florida, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
