The jackpot for Saturday night’s Powerball lottery climbed to $140 million after no players matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing.

Those numbers were 9, 19, 31, 56 and 59, and the Power Ball was 2.

If a single player matches all six numbers drawn Saturday night and chooses the cash option, he or she would receive a one-time payout of $91.3 million before taxes.

The top prize in Friday night’s Mega Millions multi-state lottery is $103 million.
