No jackpot wins
The lottery numbers that were drawn in the Powerball lottery on Wednesday night were 28, 34, 51, 53 and 56, while 11 was the Powerball number and 2X was the Power Play.

There were two players who were able to hit the Match 5, which allowed them to walk away with a prize of $1 million each. One of the players was from Georgia and the other from Arizona.
