The jackpot would be the ninth-largest in U.S. lottery history.
There have been 24 drawings since the jackpot was last won on Oct. 14.
Joe Chahayed said he didn't know who won the giant prize but hopes it's someone local.
The winning numbers were drawn about ten hours late, but the lone winning ticket was sold in California. There was a $1 million winner in Massachusetts.
Lottery officials said one state was still processing its sales data. The jackpot is the largest for any lottery, anywhere, ever.
The jackpot has eluded players since Aug. 3, the last time anyone matched all five winning numbers and the Powerball.
If you win and opt to get the jackpot in one full payment, the cash value is worth $782.4 million before taxes. The other option is to receive monthly payments over three decades.
No one won Wednesday night's top prize of $1.2 billion, so the jackpot for Saturday night's drawing will be very close to the $1.586 billion world record for lotteries.

No one won Wednesday's pot of gold of about $700 million, which was already the game's largest this year.
On Wednesday night, lottery officials announced that the winning tickets of the coveted $630 million Powerball jackpot were sold in California and Wisconsin. The winning ticket in California was purchased at a Sacramento 7-Eleven.
The Powerball numbers drawn Wednesday are 3, 6, 26, 35, 51, and the Powerball number was 17. No tickets were sold that matched all six numbers, so the estimated jackpot rolls over to $116 million for Saturday's drawing.
The winner will have the choice between receiving the $699.8 million jackpot in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payment of $496 million.
A customer that purchased a lottery ticket Wednesday at the General Store in Compton won $2.5 million, matching all the number with the exception of the Powerball.
The jackpot winner will have the choice between receiving the $731.1 million over 29 years, or a lump sum payment of $546.8 million.
The jackpot for Friday's drawing is now estimated to reach $970 million.
A ticket purchased at a San Diego gas station matched five of the six numbers and won $2.7 million.
No one matched all six numbers Tuesday night. The Mega Millions jackpot is expected to hit $750 million by Friday.
The new year already has mixed reviews, but there's a chance to turn it all around this week.
The winning numbers are 16, 20, 37, 44 and 62. The Powerball is 12.
Wednesday's draw will be worth at least $750 million.
There was no Powerball winner Saturday, making Wednesday night's estimated jackpot swell to an estimated $550 million, the eighth largest jackpot in the game's history.
