LOS ANGELES, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Lottery officials said there was no winner of Saturday's record $900 million jackpot in the multi-state Powerball lottery.

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.

"No Powerball jackpot winner," the Texas Lottery announced on Twitter hours after the numbers were drawn. The next drawing, expected to establish another record payout of a reported $1.3 billion, was slated for Wednesday.

The grand prize for Powerball, played in 44 states, Washington, and two U.S. territories, has climbed steadily for weeks after repeated drawings produced no big winners. This week ticket purchases surged along with the size of the pot.
