No one matched all the numbers drawn Saturday night for the Powerball lottery and the grand prize for the multi-state game rose from $130 million to an estimated $151 million.
The winning numbers were: 03 - 22 - 26 - 41 and 49, and the Power Ball number was 18.
The closest any Illinois players came to the jackpot was the one person who matched four of five numbers and the Power Ball, according to the Illinois Lottery. That player will receive $10,000. Another 91 players either matched four of five numbers or three of five and the Power Ball, and they will each receive $100.
The next Powerball drawing will be held on Wednesday, with a grand prize estimated at $151 million.
