The winning numbers for one of the nation's biggest lottery jackpots were drawn Saturday.

Here are the lucky numbers for the $535 million Powerball jackpot: 17-19-39-43-68, with a Powerball of 13 and Power Play of 4.

Results are pending.

The prize has grown so large because no one has matched all six balls in more than two months, so the jackpot has grown after every drawing. The prize now ranks as the eighth largest in U.S. history.

The odds of winning the giant prize were one in 292.2 million.

Powerball is played in 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The $535 million jackpot is the annuity option, paid over 29 years. A winner who opts for a cash payout would get $340.1 million, minus taxes.
