People across Florida will be singing "Luck Be A Lady" when the winning Powerball numbers are called Saturday night.
No one matched Wednesday's numbers, 8-13-17-34-59 PB-35. That brings the jackpot up to a staggering $200 million.
The jackpot reached that level only four times in 2011, and there has not been a jackpot winner since Jan. 15th.
The cost of a Powerball ticket also climbed last month to $2.
The revised game shrinks the pool of numbers from 39 to 35, creating better overall odds of winning a prize from one in 35 to one in 31.8.
