PHOENIX (CBS5) -

Wednesday night's Powerball jackpot could certainly give a lucky winner something for which to really be thankful.

The multi-state Powerball jackpot will stretch to an estimated $250 million for Wednesday's drawing after no one claimed Saturday night's estimated jackpot of $214 million.

In fact, no one matched any more than four of five numbers in Arizona, and none of those included the Powerball.

Saturday's winning numbers were 3-15-27-58-59, with Powerball of 20. The 41 Arizonans who matched four of five numbers won $100.
