Better luck Wednesday.

The Powerball jackpot has swelled to an estimated $185 million for Wednesday night’s drawing after no one matched all six numbers drawn for the Powerball game Saturday evening.

Those numbers were: 32-42-50-54-55 and the Powerball was 32.

Three tickets matched the first five numbers, but missed the Powerball, winning ticketholders $1 million each. They were sold in New Jersey, New York and Tennessee.

The jackpot has rolled over 10 times since Oct. 6. A player in Delaware won the last big jackpot - $50 million on Oct. 3 A Nebraska player won the biggest Powerball jackpot ever, $365 million on Feb. 18, 2006.

The top winner can opt for 30 graduated payments over 29 years or a cash option of a smaller lump sum.
