Powerball jackpot climbs to $200 million

The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing jumped to a whopping $200 million after no players matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's game.

One player in Georgia matched four of the first five numbers drawn -- 8, 13, 17, 34 and 59 -- along with the "Power Ball," which was 35, and won $40,000.

The top prize in Friday night's Mega Millions multi-state lottery is $23 million.
