“Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $110 million! That's the biggest Powerball jackpot of the year and it's the largest jackpot in nation.

“The cash option for the Wednesday, June 25 drawing will be an estimated $63.6 million.

“There were no Powerball jackpot winners Saturday but 652,041 players across the nation won a total of more than $4.9 million in prizes in America's Game.

“The numbers drawn were: 15, 19, 27, 36, 44, and the Powerball was 17. The Power Play multiplier was 5.

“Four players correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $100,000. The tickets were sold in Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Minnesota. None of those winning players purchased the Power Play option. If they had spent an extra dollar they would have multiplied their prize by 5 for a total win of $500,000.
