The Powerball jackpot continues to rise after no big winner in Wednesday night's drawing.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- No one matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, which means you're not waking up a millionaire.



It also means you can try your luck again on Saturday and this time, the jackpot will jump to an estimated $572 million.



Here are Wednesday's winning numbers: 17, 38, 20, 9, 40 with a Powerball of 18.



The rising total comes on the heels of a lucky player in Maine who recently won the $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That was the second-largest jackpot in the history of the game.





Here is a look at the 10 largest U.S. jackpots that have been won and the states where the winning tickets were sold:



1. $2.04 billion, Powerball, Nov. 8, 2022 (one ticket, from California)



2. $1.586 billion, Powerball, Jan. 13, 2016 (three tickets, from California, Florida, Tennessee)
