DES MOINES, Iowa -- Another huge lottery jackpot is up for a lucky grab. Millions of tickets were sold for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing but none of them had all the right numbers. And that means the pot for Saturday night's drawing climbs to $204 million. But 17 players did come close, matching five of the six winning numbers, for prizes of at least $200,000 apiece. The numbers were: 10, 13, 16, 19 and 24, with a Powerball of 15. Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared a $179.8 million jackpot.Powerball is played in 29 states, as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
