The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing climbed to $79 million after no players matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's game.

One player in Georgia matched the first five numbers drawn Wednesday -- 10, 35, 39, 51 and 57 -- but not the "Power Ball" of 20. That player won $200,000.

The jackpot for Friday night's Mega Millions multi-state lottery also rolled over this week, to $34 million.
