The next drawing is set for Saturday night.
The jackpot for Saturday's Powerball drawing has climbed to $214 million after Wednesday's drawing failed to produce a winner, lottery officials report. The multi-jurisdictional lottery is played in 42 states—including Maryland and Virginia—plus Washington, DC, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was almost a year ago that a Maryland resident last won a Powerball jackpot. On Christmas Eve 2011, a Cecil County couple's winning ticket brought them a $128.8 million dollar prize. More recently, one of three winning tickets in March's $640 million Mega Millions drawing was sold at a 7-Eleven in Milford Mill.

The Maryland Lottery reported its 15th consecutive year of sales growth, helped along by interest from the $656 million jackpot in March.
A record-setting Mega Millions jackpot helped pace the Maryland Lottery to a record of its own, with the agency reporting a 4.7 percent increase in sales over the previous fiscal year. The lottery said Monday that figures from fiscal year 2012 showed the 15th consecutive year of sales growth, despite greater competition from casinos and a dearth of new retail outlets.

Those sales translated into $556 million into Maryland’s general fund and $1.066 billion in prizes awarded to players. Interest in the Maryland Lottery was high earlier this year, when the jackpot for the national Mega Millions game reached a record $656 million in …

The question on a lot of people's minds is why Mirlande Wilson, the McDonald's employee who says she won the Mega Millions jackpot in Maryland, hasn't produced the winning ticket. She told a local television station Thursday she may have lost it. A reporter for Washington's News4 asked Wilson if she was going to come forward with what she claims is the winning ticket. "If I find it," Wilson said. "I misplaced it." She also said she did not make up the story of winning the ticket to gain attention and that she hid the ticket at the McDonald's in Milford Mill where she works. (See the video here.) Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett told Pikesville Patch Wednesday afternoon that no one has filed a legitimate claim or come forward …
