The multi-state Powerball lottery Thursday stood at an estimated $146 million jackpot for Saturday’s drawing.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing.

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Arizona and is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 6, 20, 33, 40, 48 and the Powerball number was 5. The estimated jackpot was $126 million.

The drawing was the ninth since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
