The jackpot for Saturday night's Powerball multi-state lottery climbed to $92 million after no players matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday.

Wednesday night's numbers were 1, 4, 38, 40 and 42, and the "Power Ball" was 17.

The Powerball top prize has been steadily growing since June 29, when a single ticket sold at a truck stop on I-20 in west Georgia matched all six numbers.

The winner of that $77 million prize has not yet come forward. Winners have six months to claim lottery prizes.

The jackpot for Friday night's Mega Millions drawing is $53 million.
