Powerball Lottery Jackpot Jumps To $28 Million

The Powerball jackpot continues to move upward. No one hit the jackpot Saturday, but 432,497 players across the nation won a total of more than $4.2 million in prizes.

Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $28 million.

The cash option for the Wednesday, June 28th drawing will be an estimated $12.6 million.

The numbers drawn Saturday were 8, 11, 30, 39, 47, and the Powerball was 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3.

Players purchased more than $18.5 million in tickets between Wednesday and Saturday night. The lotteries have sold more than $2.7 billion in Powerball tickets so far in fiscal year 2006. That translates into approximately $780 million for worthwhile state projects.
