No one won Saturday's record jackpot of nearly $950 million in the multistate Powerball lottery, officials said, driving the haul for a winning ticket in the next draw to $1.3 billion, lottery officials said.
Millions of Americans anxiously checked their tickets for the winning combination of six numbers - 32, 16, 19, 57, 34 with a Powerball number of 13.
"No Powerball jackpot winner," the Texas Lottery announced on Twitter hours after the numbers were drawn.
