Des Moines, Iowa —
Lottery officials say there was no grand-prize winner in the first Powerball drawing of the year that also offers one of the biggest prizes in the game's history.
The jackpot in Saturday's drawing had grown to $334 million, the 12th largest in Powerball history. The lump-sum cash prize for the winner would have been $205 million.
The last time the prize was close to that amount was in March 2013, when a New Jersey man won $338 million.
The next drawing will be held Wednesday.
The odds of winning Saturday's Powerball jackpot were 1 in 292 million.
