Powerball jackpot jumps to $516 million after no winner

The Powerball jackpot climbed to $516 million after no ticket matched all numbers in the Wednesday drawing.

No one won the Powerball jackpot in Wednesday's drawing on 7 October, sending the prize to $516 million. The cash value is $212.6 million.

The winning numbers were 11, 13, 14, 21, 65, and Powerball 19. The next drawing takes place Saturday, 10 October.

It has been nearly two months since anyone won the Powerball jackpot; an Illinois player won $1.04 billion on 12 August. Powerball tickets cost $2 and drawings occur three times a week.

Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball from 1 to 26.

Why it mattersLarge rollover jackpots draw more players and increase odds of a winner; this prize is among the largest this year.

AustraliaNo direct Australian effect. Powerball is a US-only lottery; Australian residents cannot legally purchase tickets.
