There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in Wednesday evening’s drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Saturday’s drawing to $935 million, the 11th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, were sold in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Texas. They are each worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 37, 46, 57, 60, 66 and the Powerball number was 8. The estimated jackpot was $873 million, the 11th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

The drawing was the 37th since Jan. 1, 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 jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing was the fifth-largest in the history of the Powerball game which began in 1992. There have been six larger jackpots for the Mega Millions game, which began in 1996 as The Big Game and was given the new name Mega Millions in 2002.

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