There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery and the estimated jackpot for Saturday’s drawing is expected to grow to $96 million.

One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Florida and West Virginia. They are each worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 6, 19, 37, 49, 59 and the Powerball number was 22. The jackpot was $81.6 million.

The drawing was the fourth since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
