The 1 second prize winning ticket(s) purchased in CA won $1,000,000 cash.
In addition, 6 tickets matched four of the five lotto numbers, as well as the Powerball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000. There were 3 tickets matched 4+1 with Power Play option, multiplying the winnings by 4 for a total win of $40,000 each! Additional prizes won Wednesday night included 224 tickets that matched 4 white numbers and won $100. 78 additional tickets at this prize level were also wisely bought with the Power Play option that doubled winnings to $200 cash! There were 680 tickets that correctly matched 3 white ball numbers plus the Powerball and also won $100. 221 additional players not just matched 3+1, and also bought the Power Play option, doulbled the winnings to $200 cash each ticket.

Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games in the U.S. offered in 44 lottery jurisdictions as a shared jackpot game. Powerball drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 7:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Powerball lottery uses a 5/69 (white balls) + 1/26 (Powerballs) system to randomly pick winning numbers. Each play costs $2. Players can choose to spend 1 extra dollar to buy the Power Play, which increases the original prizes but not jackpot. The overall odds of winning is about 1 to 32. The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers are 1 to 292,201,338. The minimum Powerball advertised jackpot starts at $40,000,000. The annuity option is paid in 30 yearly increment payments in 29 years. Winners may select one-time lump-sum cash payout option instead.
