The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night did not yield any grand prize winner for the jackpot that was initially estimated to be worth $370 million but later jumped to $372.8 million with a cash value of $224.5 million.

The next drawing, which will take place on Saturday, will see the jackpot grow to an estimated $400 million with a $240.8 million cash option.

The winning lottery numbers drawn on Wednesday, April 20, were 20, 30, 45, 55, and 56, with a red Powerball of 14. The Power Play was 2X.

There were no grand prize winners following the latest drawing, but one ticket holder was lucky enough to become an instant millionaire. Players who would have hit the Match 5 would have won $1 million.

However, a player from New Jersey was able to match five numbers with the 2X Power Play and won a $2 million prize.

Fifteen people hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each. Meanwhile, three players managed to hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with a Power Play and won $100,000 apiece.

The rest of the monetary winnings from the night ranged between $4 and $200. A total of 708,386 players took home prizes from the Wednesday night jackpot.

The latest drawing comes as a $50,000 winning ticket in South Carolina is set to expire. The ticket was purchased on Oct. 23, 2021, at the BP gas station at Highway 1 South in Lugoff.

The winner has until 4 p.m. local time on Thursday to claim their prize at the Columbia Claims Center. If the ticket remains unclaimed, the money will go to the state’s Education Lottery Account to fund educational programs.

Jackpot winners must match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination. Five numbers must 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.
