NEW YORK (WABC) -- Lottery officials say there were no Powerball jackpot winners in Saturday night's drawing. This makes the estimated jackpot for Wednesday's drawing around $422 million.



Saturday's winning numbers were: 39-05-35-07-23 Powerball: 11



It has now been 22 straight drawings since someone has hit the jackpot.



The most recent winner was Pearle Mae Smith of Trenton and her seven children. They split the May 7 jackpot with $429,6 million, the largest prize won by a single lottery ticket in New Jersey.



Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.



The odds of a $2 ticket hitting the jackpot are more than 292 million to 1.



The jackpot has been won only 3 times this year compared to a dozen times in 2015.



You can watch the next drawing Wednesday night on Eyewitness News at 11 following ABC News' coverage of the Democratic National Convention.
