Hopes and dreams are still alive for those who would like to become an instant billionaire, as the Powerball jackpot has swelled to a staggering $935 million after going winless on Wednesday night.

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 37, 46, 57, 60, 66 and the Powerball 8.

The drawing came a day after the $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize was won by a player in New Jersey. The win marked the end of 30 straight winless drawings for the lottery.

The last Powerball winner came on New Year’s Day, but otherwise, no one else has been able to beat the 1 in 292.2 million odds.

The next drawing will come on Saturday at 11 p.m. EST, giving potential winners the choice of being paid out annually over 30 years or a lump sum payment of an estimated $449.7 million before taxes.
