DEARBORN (WWJ) -- All across the country, lottery players are shivering with anticipation for Saturday's $800 million Powerball drawing after no one took home last night's jackpot.
One Michigan player, however, is $1 million richer after matching all five white balls.
Wednesday night's winning numbers were 19, 36, 37, 46, 56, 24.
With no jackpot winners, the grand prize has now climbed to its second-highest total, and the fifth highest lottery jackpot of any kind in U.S. history -- an estimated $800 million.
The cash option stands at $383 million.
Meanwhile, one Michigan resident is in possession of a $1 million ticket after winning the Match 5.
The ticket was sold at a Dearborn gas station -- a Shell located at the corner of Greenfield Road and Warren Ave.
The next drawing -- for the $800 million jackpot -- is Saturday, October 29.
"I'm happy for the customer to win the big one," gas station owner Hussien told WWJ's Charlie Langton. "I hope next time it will be the big jackpot."
The highest Powerball jackpot ever was $1.5 billion in 2016.
