The Powerball jackpot has reached a historic sum after the Wednesday night drawing did not produce a winner for the $653 million grand prize with a $350.5 million cash value.

The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday were 31, 43, 58, 59, and 66. The Powerball was 9. The Power Play was 2X.

Since the grand prize went unclaimed, the jackpot will climb to an estimated $700 million with a $375.7 million cash option for the Saturday night drawing. If the jackpot is won, it would mark the sixth-largest prize in Powerball history.

Although there were no jackpot winners following the latest lottery drawing, three ticket-holders became instant millionaires.

A player in Florida and another in North Carolina hit the Match 5 and won $1 million apiece. A ticket-holder from New York matched five numbers with the Power Play and increased their prize to $2 million.

Several players across the country also won notable prizes. Six players won $100,000 by hitting the Match 4 plus the red Powerball with the Power Player.

Meanwhile, 17 players picked up a $50,000 prize by matching four white balls and the Powerball. The rest of the prizes from the night ranged between $4 and $200.

The Powerball jackpot was last won on Nov. 19, when a player in Kansas walked away with the $92.2 million grand prize.

A Jackpot winner's ticket must match the numbers for five white balls and the red Powerball to the number combination drawn. Drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Powerball can be played in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

A Powerball ticket costs $2. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292.2 million.
