The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night did not result in a grand prize winner for the estimated $432 million jackpot with a cash option of $313.5 million. However, there was a slew of other smaller wins as the jackpot climbed to an estimated $457 million.

The winning lottery numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 1, 4, 18, 46, 62, with a red Powerball pull of 25. The PowerPlay was 3X. The next Powerball drawing will take place on Saturday.

The jackpot will grow an estimated $457 million, with a $331.6 million cash value. Even though no grand prize winners resulted from the latest drawing, there were three players who became instant millionaires.

Players from California, Illinois, and North Carolina hit the Match 5 and won $1 million each. However, none of the players matched five numbers with the 3X Power Play and missed out on the chance to win $2 million.

Aside from the instant millionaires, there were several other smaller monetary prizes that resulted from the Wednesday Powerball drawing. There were 22 players who hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball and won $50,000 each.

Meanwhile, only two players hit the Match 4 plus red Powerball with the 3X Power Play, winning $150,000. The other monetary wins from the latest lottery drawing ranged between $4 and $300.

Powerball jackpot winners can receive their winnings through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity. Those who select the annuity receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, which increase by 5% every year.

Powerball is played in 45 states, including Washington, D.C., as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
