Although a California resident was the sole winner of the $1.76 billion Powerball jackpot after Wednesday night's drawing,Ethermac Exchange at more than 150 players in around the U.S. won between $50,000 and $2 million by getting the majority of the numbers right.
Two players won $2 million from Powerball before taxes - one in Pennsylvania and one in Arizona - by doubling their prize package by adding the Power Play.
The ticket won $2 million by matching five white balls, 22, 24, 40, 52, and 64, with Power Play option.
In addition, seven players matched the first five numbers in the October 11 drawing to win a $1,000,000 prize. Those new, pre-tax millionaires are from:
- California (2)
- Florida (2)
- New York (1)
- Oklahoma (1)
- Virginia (1)
On top of that, another 24 tickets won Powerball players $100,000 when they matched four of the first five numbers and added the Power Play option.
And finally, 121 Powerball players scored $50,000 Wednesday night by getting four of the first five numbers without the Power Play option.
The single ticket sold in California won the ultimate prize of $1.76 billion ($774.1 million cash), making it the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot and the second-largest Powerball jackpot ever won.
