Saturday's Powerball jackpot was more than half a billion dollars.

The numbers in the draw were 22, 23, 37, 62 and 63. The Powerball was 19 and the Power Play was 3X.

But once again, there was no winner of the $523 million jackpot, meaning the top prize will rise even higher for the next drawing. The jackpot on Tuesday, September 28 will be $545 million, with a cash value of $392.1 million.

Although no-one has claimed the jackpot in Saturday's drawing, there were some big winners.

Three players, from Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, matched all five white balls to win $1 million each. A player from Illinois did the same but tripled their prize money to $3 million thanks to the Power Play.

A further 27 players matched four white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000 prizes, with six tripling their winnings to $150,000 with the Power Play.

The last time a player won the Powerball jackpot was in June, when a player from Florida won a prize worth $268 million. Before that, the jackpot hadn't been claimed since March 27 when another player from Florida scooped a $238 million prize.
