Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot was estimated to be at least $20 million, according to the game’s official website.
Here are Saturday's winning numbers: 5, 8, 17, 27, 28 with the Powerball number 14 and the Power Play of 3X.
Saturday’s Powerball drawing is the first since Wednesday, when a ticket sold in Maryland allowed its owner to claim a $731.1 million prize.
That ticket was sold at Coney Market, a convenience store in Lonaconing, in Allegany County, according to The Associated Press. It marked the first Powerball jackpot win in more than four months, the AP reported.
