Kingman, USA – January 20, 2016: A photo of a man holding a Powerball Lottery ticket in Kingman, Arizona.
The Powerball jackpot rose again Saturday night after no winner was announced in the draw of the night.
According to the official Powerball website, Saturday's winning numbers were 6, 8, 20, 52 and 68, with Powerball's number 5.
But no first prize winner has been announced, no one has won a Match 5-Plus or Match 5 award, according to the website.
The Saturday draw would have brought the winner a jackpot of $ 124 million. But as no winner has been declared, the next draw on Wednesday will have an estimated value of $ 139 million, according to the site.
At the same time, a co-winner of a $ 700 million Powerball October jackpot made the announcement last week when she donated 500,000 $ to an organization that helps wounded US veterans.
Lerynne West of Iowa said on television, on "Ellen," that she made the donation partly because her father had served in Vietnam.

The Travis Mills Foundation, which hosts a retirement for injured veterans in Rome, Maine, was the recipient of the donation. Foundation officials said the money would be used as a "catalyst for new projects".
