The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday's lottery drawing has climbed to an estimated $154 million, with a cash option of $71.4 million.

The drawing will be held at 10:59 p.m. and televised on WABC-7 in New York City and Fox 29 in Philadelphia. NJ.com will publish the winning numbers immediately following the conclusion of the drawing.

No one across the country hit Monday's $142 million jackpot. A second-prize ticket matching five numbers but not the Powerball was sold in Wisconsin.

In New Jersey, no one won more than $300 with a single ticket.

Monday's winning numbers were: 2, 17, 18, 29 and 43. The Powerball drawn was 3 with a Power Play of 3x.

A ticket sold in Mississippi hit the secondary, $10 million Double Play jackpot. Those winning numbers were: 2, 21, 34, 38 and 44. The Double Play number drawn was 19.

The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers but not the Powerball and win at least $1 million. The odds of winning a third prize of at least $50,000 are 913,129 to 1.

Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Friday's Mega Millions jackpot is worth an estimated $129 million with a cash option of $58.6 million.
