Saturday's drawing, however, continued a monthlong streak without a grand-prize winner.
As a result, Wednesday's jackpot will be worth $103 million - if taken in yearly installments - or $45.8 million for the give-it-to-me-now cash option.
Not counting Uncle Sam's cut, of course.
The numbers that popped up Saturday were 14, 15, 27, 43 and 53, with a Powerball of 28.
Only four tickets matched the first five to earn $200,000. Wisconsin sold two, Kentucky and Minnesota one each.
Tickets are sold in Pennsylvania, Delaware and a couple dozen other states.
Mega Millions, the other major multistate lottery, has a $78 million windfall up for grabs tomorrow night. The pretax cash payout is an estimated $43.8 million.
The May 11 drawing had a $112 million jackpot that was won by a California ticket.
Mega Millions is played in a dozen states, including New Jersey, Maryland and New York.
