It is the eighth largest Powerball jackpot since the game began in 1992 and the largest jackpot since tickets in Iowa and New York split a $687.8 jackpot just before Halloween.
There have been 23 consecutive drawings without a winner since a ticket sold in New York matched all six numbers in the $294 million Powerball jackpot drawing on December 26.
Saturday's winning numbers are 30, 34, 39, 53, 67 with 11 as the Powerball. The Power Play multiplier was two.
There were a total of 171,737 winning tickets sold in Florida for Saturday's drawing. No tickets sold in the state matched all five white numbers. Four other tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball and are each worth at least $50,000.
The deadline to buy tickets for Wednesday night's drawing is 10:00 p.m. EST. The odds of winning are one in 292.2 million.
People dreaming of winning millions can also play for another prize on Tuesday. The Mega Millions jackpot for the March 19 drawing is $45 million.
