No winner of record Powerball jackpot, next draw put at $1.3 billion

No one won Jan. 9's record jackpot of nearly $950 million in the multi-state Powerball lottery, driving the haul for a winning ticket in the next draw to $1.3 billion, lottery officials said. 

Millions of Americans anxiously checked their tickets for the winning combination of six numbers - 32, 16, 19, 57, 34 with a Powerball number of 13.
