DES MOINES, Iowa — The Powerball jackpot increased to $ 900 million just hours before Saturday's drawing.

The winning Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night were: 32, 16, 19, 57, 34 and a Powerball of 13. There were no winners announced.

Lottery officials say a winner would have the option of being paid $ 900 million through annual payments over 29 years or opting for a $ 558 million lump-sum cash payout.

Sales for the lottery game have skyrocketed since Wednesday, when no one won an estimated $ 500 million jackpot.

Officials had said that if no one won Saturday, the next jackpot will be $ 1.3 billion. Officials with the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the Powerball game, expect about 65 percent of the possible number combinations were bought for Saturday night's drawing.

Since Nov. 4, the Powerball jackpot has grown from its $ 40 million starting point as no one has won the jackpot.
