There was no winner on Wednesday, October 26, and the prize jumped to $ 800 million

(CNN) – The Powerball jackpot jumped to $ 800 million after Wednesday night’s draw resulted in no grand prize winner, the lottery agency said.

Wednesday’s draw jackpot was $ 700 million and the winning numbers were 19, 36, 37, 46, 56 with a Powerball of 24.

The $ 800 million jackpot is the second largest Powerball jackpot and the fifth largest US lottery jackpot of all time, according to a Powerball press release. Its cash value is $ 383.7 million, the lottery said. The next draw is on Saturday.

There have been 36 draws in a row with no grand prize winner, the lottery said.

But unfortunately for ticket buyers, the odds of winning the top prize are only 1 in 292.2 million.

The largest Powerball jackpot of all time was $ 1.586 billion in January 2016, according to the release.
