Thursday, February 28, 2008 posted 11:11 AM EST

With no winners from Wednesday night's drawing, the Powerball jackpot is expected to soar past $153 million.

The numbers drawn were 20, 24, 37, 48 and 53, with a Powerball of 11. Players were vying for a grand prize of $135 million.

There were 11 tickets sold that matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball, meaning they were worth $200,000 apiece. Two were sold in Missouri and Pennsylvania, and one each in Arizona, Connecticut, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Saturday's jackpot is projected to be $153 million.
