The Powerball drawing on Saturday night did not bring a new multimillionaire. There was no big winner for the $825 million dollar prize.

The jackpot has now hit a new milestone. It's now worth more than $1 billion dollars and that number will keep growing. The lump sum one time payout for that prize will be $497 million.

One ticket sold in Louisiana did hit some of the cash, and is worth $150,000 dollars. That ticket was sold in New Iberia.

The $1 billion dollar prize is now the 2nd largest Powerball jackpot in history and the 5th largest lottery jackpot ever and it's expected to surpass the #4 jackpot by the time of the Monday drawing.
