Saturday's Powerball jackpot has already grown by $75 million to a whopping $550 million threatening the all time Powerball jackpot amount.

There was no winning ticket matching five numbers and the Powerball number from Wednesday's drawing, setting up a buying frenzy that pushed Saturday's jackpot up from an initial $475 million.

One ticket worth $1 million was sold in New Jersey at Rachel's Market in Pennsville.
