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 $166 million.

There were two tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.

The one sold in Massachusetts is worth $2 million because the player utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.

The one sold in Florida is worth $1 million.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 7, 21, 55, 56, 64 and the Powerball number was 26. The estimated jackpot was $148 million.

The drawing was the 10th 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.
