Powerball jackpot climbs again after no winner in Wednesday's $750M drawing
The Powerball jackpot has not had a lucky winner since April 19
The monthslong no-winner trend in the Powerball continued Wednesday night after no one claimed the $750 million lottery jackpot.
The winning numbers were 23, 35, 45, 66, 67 and a Powerball of 20.
Saturday's jackpot now rises to $875 million with a cash value of $441.9 million, according to the Powerball website. The lucky winner, if there is one, will have the option to collect their winnings in annual installments or the lump sum.
If a winner opts for the annuity, they would receive an initial payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
