Powerball Jackpot for Wednesday at $360 Million

By Carlos Aviles with information from City News Service

Update: THE WINNING NUMBERS ARE 2-11-26-34-41-32. The last number, 32, is the Powerball. 

Since there were no tickets sold with all six numbers in last drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing will grow to $360 million.

Last Saturday, 10 tickets  had five numbers, but didn't have the Powerball number. 

The prize for Wednesday is the third largest prize ever, reports Fox News.  

According to officials, the large pot is partially attributed to recent ticket sales in California as reported by CBS. 

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 175,223,510, according to the Powerball website. The overall chance of winning
a prize is 1 in 31.85.

The Powerball game is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
