With no winner in the Powerball drawing Saturday night, the jackpot has grown to almost a quarter of a billion dollars.

Wednesday night's drawing will be worth $245 million to a single winner. A winner choosing the cash option would get $146 million before taxes.

Saturday night's numbers were 11, 16, 40, 51, 56 and the powerball was 38.

As big as $245 million sounds, the jackpot has been larger. In 2006, eight co-workers in Nebraska split a $365 million prize.

The Mega Millions jackpot is up to $78 million. The next Mega Millions drawing will be Tuesday.
