Once again, there was no big winner in the Powerball lottery and the prize for Saturday night's drawing skyrockets to an estimated $290 million.

Wednesday night's numbers were 4-9-18-51 and 54, with a Powerball number of 10.

If somebody had gotten them all, they would have won a $247 million jackpot.

Because nobody did, the pot rolls over to Saturday night.

Officials of the Iowa-based multi-state lottery said 14 tickets did match the first five numbers.

Each of them is worth $200,000.

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