Lottery officials said that a shopper matched all five of the white ball numbers without the Powerball in Saturdayā€™s drawing.

The winning numbers for that drawing were 6-23-25-34-51 with a Powerball of 2.

No one won the jackpot, which was estimated at $750 million.

The jackpot is now expected to grow to an estimated $800 million.

According to the Florida Lottery, the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
