Here are the winning numbers:
05-28-33-38-42, Powerball: 19, PowerPlay: 2X
The estimated jackpot is $317 million. The lump sum payment before taxes will be about $189 million. If there is no jackpot winner, the amount grows even larger for the next drawing.
The amount has been creeping up since a $121.6 million jackpot was won by a Pennsylvania couple Dec. 17.
Powerball is held in 44 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
A $2 ticket gives you a one in 292.2 million chance at joining the hall of Powerball champions.
The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Wednesdays and Saturdays. Deadline to purchase tickets is 9:45 p.m.
