NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Powerball jackpot has leaped, again, to an estimated $700 million for the next drawing on Saturday night. No one hit the winning numbers on Wednesday, again.

Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery, so each state's rules may vary. In some states, winning tickets can be redeemed at local authorized sellers under a certain dollar amount.

Mega Million said the jackpot was last won in Illinois on June 4, with a ticket valued at $552 million. Since then, there have been 27 drawings, but no jackpot prize winners.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million, and it's those low odds that enable the game to trundle along without a winner for months.

The Powerball jackpot has hit $700 million after no one matched all six numbers in the Wednesday, Aug. 20 drawing.
