Powerball jackpot swells to $325 million

By Mark Alewine

This would cover some of your Thanksgiving losses.

No one hit all six numbers in Wednesday night's $262.9 million Powerball drawing, so the Saturday night's jackpot will be worth an estimated $325 million.

If you choose the cash option route, it will pay a lump sum of $213 million.

A player in Georgia and another in New York did win $1 million each by matching every number but the Powerball.

A single ticket in Texas hit the Match 5 Powerplay which is worth $2 million.

Wednesday’s winning numbers are 8-18-24-30 and 39. The Powerball is 26.

Powerball is played in Georgia, 41 other states and Washington DC.

Drawings are Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m. on WSB-TV Channel 2.
