Powerball jackpot climbs to $183 million

The jackpot for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing has climbed to $183 million after no lottery players matched all six numbers drawn on Saturday night.

Saturday’s numbers were 10, 37, 40, 46 and 52, and the Power Ball was 12.

Two people — one in Ohio and one in Pennslyvania — matched the first five numbers, but missed the Powerball, winning $1 million each.

The Powerball jackpot has been growing since Feb. 6, when a player in Virginia won a $217 million top prize.

The jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions multi-state lottery is $41 million.
