The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing jumped to a whopping $203 million after no players matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's game.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 1, 18, 21, 39, and 55, and the "Power Ball" was 6. While no one won the big prize, one player in Tifton won $30,000, while players in Lilburn, Lithonia and McDonough each won $10,000.
The Powerball jackpot has been rolled over 12 times since Kathy Scruggs from Lithonia won $25 million on Sept. 14.
If a single ticket matches all six numbers in Saturday night's drawing and that player chooses the cash option, he or she will receive a single payment of $123 million before taxes.
The top prize in Friday night's Mega Millions multi-state lottery is $67 million.
