We're getting close to the threshold of Powerball Fever.

That's when the multi-state lottery jackpot gets large enough to attract people who don't normally buy tickets.

No one managed to match all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing and that hikes the jackpot to $205 million for Saturday.

Twelve players came very close by matching five of the six winning numbers; each of those tickets is worth $200,000.

The winning numbers Wednesday were: 2-15-25-30-45. The Powerball was 17.

Powerball is played in 27 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
