Powerball jackpot rolls over to $216 million

The jackpot for Saturday night’s Powerball drawing climbed to $216 million after no players matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday night.

Those numbers were 5, 9, 28, 32 and 38, and the Power Ball was 29.

The top prize has been climbing since a player in Virginia won $217 million in the Feb. 6 drawing.

Meanwhile, the top prize for Friday night’s Mega Millions lottery was reset at $12 million after a player in Ohio won Tuesday night’s $41 million jackpot.
