The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing jumped to $70 million after no players matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's game.
Players in Arizona and Illinois matched the first five numbers drawn Wednesday -- 7, 16, 17, 39 and 51 -- but not the Power Ball, which was 32. Those players won $1 million apiece. A player in South Carolina matched the first five numbers and bought the "Power Play" option, which doubled the prize to $2 million.
The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions multi-state lottery is $83 million.
