If you live in the Atlanta area and you’re thinking about playing the lottery, make sure to choose your Powerball number.  The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that after no players matched all six numbers yesterday, the jackpot has increased to $164 million.

The jackpot for Saturday’s Powerball drawing climbed to $164 million after no players matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday night.

Those numbers were 9, 10, 24, 52 and 56, and the Power Ball was 14.

The top prize has been climbing since a player in Pennsylvania won a $173 million jackpot on April 25.
