NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Powerball jackpot has leaped, again, to an estimated $700 million for the next drawing on Saturday night. No one hit the winning numbers on Wednesday, again.

But it’s the Saturday, Aug. 23 Powerball jackpot that’s raising eyebrows, currently estimated at $700 million. That total likely will go higher before the drawing because of increased ticket sales. The Classic Lotto jackpot is $6.9 million for Saturday’s drawing.
