In the nation’s capital, excitement continues to build as the Powerball jackpot has now ballooned to $629 million following another draw on Wednesday that did not produce a winner. This growing prize is nearing the top ten largest jackpots ever recorded in the lottery’s history.

Meanwhile, the Powerball’s sibling game, Mega Millions, recently ended its own streak of rollovers. A lucky ticket sold in Newnan, Georgia, claimed nearly a billion dollars, bringing that particular suspenseful run to a close.

As the Powerball prize climbs, players are urged to check their tickets with anticipation. The numbers drawn on Saturday were 28, 32, 36, 51, and 69, with the Powerball number 2 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x. Could you be the next big winner?
