MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - Nobody won the big Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, so it goes up to $200 million for the next drawing on Saturday. 2 players from Wisconsin each won $10,000 by matching 4 regular numbers plus the Powerball. Just over 25,000 players in the state won something. More than half got $3 just by matching the Powerball. Wednesday night’s numbers were 17, 21, 37, 41, and 50. The Powerball was 1, and the Power Play multiplier was 2.

The last time the jackpot hit $200 million was last August 19th, when a ticket in South Carolina won just under $260 million. Saturday’s cash option is $96 million. The Mega Millions jackpot is at $20 million for Friday night. 4,200 Wisconsin players won something in that game’s last drawing on Tuesday – but nobody got any more than $300.
