DES MOINES, Iowa -- Powerball reaches a record payout.
Nobody matched all of the numbers in the Powerball drawing Saturday night. The jackpot jumped from $325 million to $425 million for Wednesday night's drawing. That sum has a cash value of $278.3 million.
The winning numbers for Saturday night's drawing: 22-32-37-44-50, Powerball: 34.
The estimated $425 million jackpot surpasses the largest Powerball payout ever. A Nebraska ticket-holder claimed a $365 million prize in 2006. The single highest payout ever for a lottery in the United States was in March of 2012 when several claimed a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot.
