MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - The Powerball jackpot is above $100 million for the second time this year. It's at $114 million for the next drawing on Wednesday night. Nobody won the top prize during the weekend, and nobody from Wisconsin got the second prize, either. One player in the Badger State won $10,000 by matching 4 regular numbers plus the Powerball. Almost 19,000 Wisconsin players won something. Saturday's numbers were 18, 47, 51, 53, and 58. The Powerball was 30, and the Power Play multiplier was 2. The current jackpot has been building since February 6th, when a ticket sold in North Carolina won $141 million. Wednesday's cash option is $55 million.

Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot is also above $100 million for the first time since Wisconsin joined that multi-state lotto game in February. It's at $112 million for Tuesday night. The jackpot has been growing since January 29th, when a player in Texas won $144 million.
