Powerball jackpot hits $650 million

It's been two months since someone matched the winning numbers in the Powerball drawing, and the jackpot has grown to the eighth-largest in U.S. history.

The winning numbers in Saturday's drawing were: 17, 68, 19, 43, 39 and Powerball 13.

The jackpot jumped Friday to $535 million. That's a cash value of about $338.8 million.

On Wednesday night, there was one $2 million winner and five $1 million winners, but no one took home the big prize.

People across metro Atlanta are buying more tickets hoping to change that.

"If you have a ticket, you have a chance, so I bought one!" one player said.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.
