The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night did not have a grand prize winner for the estimated $211.8 million jackpot, with a cash value of $122.4 million.
The next drawing will take place on Saturday, with the jackpot growing to an estimated $229 million, with a $132.3 million cash option.
The winning lottery numbers drawn on Wednesday, June 8, were 22, 39, 43, 62, 64, with a red Powerball of 7. The Power Play was 4X.
There were no grand prize winners, but there were three ticket holders who became instant millionaires following the latest drawing. Players from Massachusetts, Ohio, and Tennessee hit the Match 5 and won $1 million each.
If the players would have hit the Match 5 with the Power Play, they could have won a prize of $2 million.
There were also several smaller monetary wins that resulted from the Wednesday night Powerball drawing. There were seven players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 apiece. Five ticket holders hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with the Power Play, winning $200,000 each.
The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $400. A total of 510,277 players won prizes from the Wednesday drawing.
The latest Powerball jackpot comes after someone from New York City bought a $50,000 winning ticket in the Monday night drawing.
The player purchased the ticket at a 7-Eleven store in Staten Island and has a year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
Jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination.
Five numbers need to be selected from 1 to 69 for the white balls, and a number is selected from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
There is a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot.
