The Powerball jackpot grew to an estimated $800 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers during Saturday night's drawing.
The winning numbers Saturday night were: 6, 23, 25, 34, 51 and a red Powerball 3. The Power Play was 2X.
While nobody won the estimated $758 million jackpot Saturday night, five players – one each in California, Florida, Indiana, Texas and Washington – won $1 million after matching all five white balls.

The grand prize is now at an estimated $800 million, which carries a one-time cash payout option of $384.8 million. Winners typically select the cash prize over the annuity option, which is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments.
The next drawing will be held Monday night. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The jackpot was last won on Jan. 1 when a player in Michigan won the $842.4 million grand prize. That was the tenth-highest Powerball prize ever won.
