Lottery officials say nobody has won the Powerball jackpot and the top prize will now increase to about $425 million for the next drawing, the largest jackpot ever for the game.

 The jackpot for the next drawing — Wednesday, Nov. 28 — will skyrocket to an estimated $425 million, the largest ever in the history of the multistate lottery game, according to the official Powerball website.

 Some lottery players, however, won some big bucks. One ticket purchased in New York state is valued at $2 million, because the player matched all 5 regular numbers and played the Powerplay option, according to the Powerball website.

 And several tickets purchased in these eight states are worth $1 million each, because they matched all five regular numbers: Arizona; Florida; New Jersey; New York; Oregon; Texas; Virginia, and Wisconsin.

 The cash option Wednesday night will be valued at an estimated $278.3 million, Powerball.com reported. In case you didn't check your tickets Saturday night, these were the winning numbers: 22, 32, 37, 44 and 50.

The Powerball was 34. Powerball is played in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, along with 40 other states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
