The jackpot increased because no player matched all the winning numbers from Tuesday night's $143 million drawing.
Four people who purchased tickets in Georgia matched four of the five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win $10,000.
The winning numbers from Tuesday night's drawing were: 5, 8, 10, 34 and 42. The Mega Ball number was 25.
And there is another big drawing Wednesday night. Powerball has piled on an estimated $252 million jackpot. Any player who matches all five white ball numbers, along with the Powerball, could win the jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated payments. Or a player could select the cash option and win a single check worth approximately $121 million.
You can watch the Powerball drawing live Wednesday night and the next Mega Millions drawing Friday night on WSB-TV Channel 2 just before the Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11.
