No big winners in Wednesday lottery drawings

Nobody won the major jackpots in the Louisiana Lotto and multistate Powerball drawings Wednesday night, the Louisiana Lottery Corporation said.

Louisiana Lotto players matching all six numbers drawn would have won or shared a $675,000 prize, which will rise to an estimated $750,000 for Saturday.

Powerball players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $72.9 million dollar jackpot. The prize will grow to an estimated $83 million for Saturday. Matching the first five numbers drawn without matching the Powerball wins a $200,000 prize. There were no such tickets sold in Louisiana for Wednesday's drawing, the lottery corporation said.
