The Powerball prize rose to $255 million after no jackpot winners emerged Saturday.
However, one ticket sold in New Jersey is a Match 5 winner worth $1 million.
The winning numbers drawn Saturday were 6, 13, 16, 17 and 52 and the Powerball was 25. The estimated cash value for the jackpot is $154.4 million.
One Match 5 Power Play winning ticket, worth $2 million, was sold in Texas.
The jackpot for the twice-weekly has increased since a Pennsylvania couple won a $121.6 million jackpot on Dec. 17 in Delaware. There were seven Powerball jackpot winning tickets in 2016.
The odds of a $2 ticket hitting the jackpot are more than 292 million to 1. It’s roughly an 11,688,053 to 1 shot to match five numbers but not the Powerball.
Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The next Powerball drawing is 10:59 p.m. Wednesday.
