According to Powerball officials Wednesday evening, no tickets in the country matched all six numbers so Saturday's Powerball jackpot will rise to at least $70 million.

The two tickets sold in California matched all five of the winning numbers but failed to match the Mega number.

One of the two $215K tickets was sold at the Safeway located at 3970 Rivermark Plaza in Santa Clara. The other winning 5/5 ticket was sold at the ampm located at 12606 Rosecrans Avenue in Santa Fe Springs. Both tickets successfully matched the numbers 17, 30, 41, 48 and 54, missing only the Mega number 13.
Four players had four numbers and the Mega and will each receive $14,373.
