The Powerball jackpot has ballooned to an estimated $1.3 billion ahead of Saturday night's drawing after a record streak with no jackpot winner.
The numbers drawn for Saturday night's jackpot were 22, 27, 44, 52 and 69, with a powerball of 9, the lottery said.
"Powerball game rules require that every single ticket sold nationwide be checked and verified against two different computer systems before the winning numbers are drawn. This is done to ensure that every ticket sold for the Powerball drawing has been accounted for and has an equal chance to win. Tonight, we have one jurisdiction that needs extra time to complete that pre-draw process," a statement from Powerball read.
Saturday sees the 41st drawing in the current jackpot run -- which ties the lottery game's record for most consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. Only two other previous Powerball jackpot runs have reached 41 drawings, before someone won the grand prize, according to Powerball.
