ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -

The Powerball jackpot has grown to $123 million for Wednesday's drawing.

No one matched all six winning numbers Saturday. However, two Georgia Lottery players won $10,000.

The lucky tickets were purchased at Kroger in Alpharetta and at Money Back in Pine Mountain.

Powerball offers two payment options: the $123 million jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated payments, or the cash option, which is approximately $78 million.

The jackpot has grown since Feb. 9 and has rolled seven times.
