Powerball: No winners, and it's up to $222 million

You'll have to try again for the largest lottery jackpot in Florida's history.

The Florida Lottery Sunday announced that no one hit Saturday's Powerball drawing, which was at $192 million and counting. Ticket sales spike when the jackpot get large, so now the big prize is at $222 million -- and growing.

The next drawing is at 10:59 p.m. Wednesday.

The winning numbers were: 19 - 23 - 34 - 52 - 57 and the Powerball was 21.
(You know, Johnny Unitas wore No. 19., Michael Jordan was 23, Walter Payton was 34, I'll be 52 in a couple of years and I usually shoot 57 for nine holes of golf. Darn!)

Channel 10 carries the Lottery drawings on a short tape-delay on its newscast and more info it at flalottery.com.

Powerball is a multi-state, mega-jackpot lotto game that is played in 30 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Florida added the game this year.

It is the largest Powerball jackpot in more than a year. The last Powerball jackpot to go this high was a $275 million jackpot on March 15, 2008.

Our Lisa Huriash reported Saturday on Powerball frenzy, and we had a Q-and-A.

There still were some prizes in Florida drawn Saturday. According to the lottery:

1 player matched five numbers, winning $200,000.

1 player matched four numbers plus the Powerball, winning $10,000.

196 players matched four numbers, each winning $100.

357 players matched three numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $100.

11,183 players matched three numbers, each winning $7.

5,345 players matched two numbers plus the Powerball, each winning $7.

35,679 players matched one number plus the Powerball, each winning $4.

74,741 players matched only the Powerball, each winning $3.

35,420 players added Power Play and matched one of the non-jackpot winning combinations listed above, multiplying their winnings by 5. Of those, two Power Play players won $1 million by matching five numbers.
