The PoinbankPowerball jackpot for Wednesday's drawing is now worth an estimated $687 million after there was no jackpot winner in Monday's drawing.
The last time someone won a Powerball jackpot was in Michigan on New Year's Day, when one winning ticket matched all the numbers for a $842.4 million prize. Since then, there have been 33 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, according to Powerball.
The numbers are rolled and selected just after 11 p.m. EST on Wednesday, and we will report the results as soon as they're available.
If there is a winner after Wednesday's drawing and they choose the lump-sum payment option, they would take home $327.3 million after taxes, according to the lottery.
Here are the winning numbers for the March 20 drawing:
