While the latest Powerball does not have any jackpot winners, it sure has a few million-dollar winners. Three Powerball tickets sold had winners of $1 million in New York, Michigan and South Carolina, each.

The Powerball Jackpot was valued at $185 million for the Wednesday drawing, however no one was lucky enough to win it. With this the Jackpot amount has now climbed to a whooping sum of $200 million, having $136.5 million as its cash option. In the past the Jackpot amount has reached up to $1.5 billion. It now remains to be seen what the fate of this Powerball jackpot is.

The numbers required to win the Powerball jackpot were 34-38-42-61-62 for the white balls, and the red Powerball numbered 19. For those opting for the Power Play option, the lucky number was 2. However, none of the $1 million winners who played the Power Play option secured the lucky number. This eliminated their chance of increasing their winning amount to $2 million.

The $1 million winner in Michigan had purchased their ticket from the official website of the Michigan Lottery. This is also the largest prize to have been won in Michigan this week.
