A Power Play ticket sold in Colorado matched the first five numbers to win $400,000 in Wednesday night's drawing, Colorado Lottery officials said today.

The Powerball jackpot was expected to rise to an estimated $43 million for Saturday after no one matched all six numbers in the midweek drawing, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.

The winning numbers Wednesday were 2, 17, 41, 54 and 55. The Powerball was 17 and the multiplier was 2.

It was not immediately clear where the $400,000 Colorado ticket was purchased.

Two other tickets without the Power Play option, sold in Indiana and Missouri, also matched five numbers to win $200,000 each.
