PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Lottery officials say nobody has won the PowerBall jackpot, and the top prize will now increase to about $425 million for the next drawing, the largest jackpot ever for the game.

The jackpot for Saturday's drawing was estimated at $325 million before the numbers were picked. That was the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history.

Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer says the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing could go even higher than the estimated $425 million because sales tend to pick up in the days before record drawings.

The previous top PowerBall prize was $365 million, won in 2006 by ConAgra Foods Workers in Lincoln, Neb.

The PowerBall numbers for Saturday were 22-32-37-44-50, and the Powerball was 34.
