No American became a billionaire last night thanks to the Powerball.
The super lottery did not find a winner on Saturday in the United States.
The astronomical jackpot of 1.6 billion dollars, a world record, has therefore climbed further to reach 1.9 billion dollars, indicates the lottery this Sunday while the next draw will take place on Monday.
A record Powerball jackpot grew to an even larger $1.9 billion after no one won the lottery drawing.
The numbers for the drawing were: white balls 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 and red Powerball 20. https://t.co/BLPG46ZT7H

Already increased to more than a billion dollars on Wednesday, the Powerball has been looking for a winner for 40 draws.
No player has yet managed to find the five main numbers, between 1 and 69, and the Powerball number between 1 and 26.
The odds of hitting the jackpot are only one in 292.2 million.
For comparison, the probability of being struck by lightning is one in a million, according to US health officials.
The lucky winner(s) will have to choose between receiving the full amount via payments spread over three decades, or being paid all at once but only on around half the amount, or $929 million, according to an estimate by Powerball.
