While no one hit the jackpot, two lucky players in Georgia and Texas each won $1 million by matching five numbers. Wednesdayโs jackpot is now the seventh largest in Powerball history. If a single ticket matches all six numbers, the winner will have the option to take the $815 million prize as an annuity paid out over 29 years or as a lump sum of $367.9 million before taxes.
