The Wednesday night Powerball drawing did not result in a grand prize winner for the jackpot worth an estimated $335 million with a cash value of $243 million.

The winning lottery numbers drawn on Dec. 15 were 19, 20, 40, 42, 59. The Powerball pull was 15, and the Power Play was 3X.

The Saturday night jackpot will climb to $353 million with a cash value of $256 million after the latest jackpot went unclaimed.

While there was no first-place lottery winner following the Wednesday night drawing, one player became an instant millionaire.

A player from Maryland hit the Match 5 with the 3X Power Play and won a $2 million prize. If the player would have hit the Match 5 without the Power Play purchase, they would have won $1 million.

Aside from the instant millionaire, there were several other smaller prizes that resulted from the night. Six players matched four of the white ball numbers and the red Powerball, winning $50,000.

Meanwhile, there was only one player who hit the Match 4 and the red Powerball that won $150,000 due to a Power Play purchase. The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $300.

The latest drawing comes after a man from North Carolina hit the Match 5 with a Power Play purchase and won $100,000. James Miller was walking out of a convenience store when he made the last-minute decision to purchase two Powerball tickets.

“Something just hit me and told me to buy some Powerball tickets so I walked back in,” Miller said. “I don’t think it’s really hit me yet that I won.”

After taxes, Miller received $70,751. Other than buying his family Christmas presents, Miller said he may use his winnings to put a down payment on a house.

To win the Powerball jackpot, a player 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.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
