WASHINGTON — The Powerball jackpot has climbed to a staggering $719 million after no ticket matched all the numbers in Wednesday night’s $681 million draw.

Although the grand prize remains unclaimed, players in four states still have reason to celebrate with their seven-figure wins. The tickets in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina matched all but the elusive Powerball number, bringing each a million-dollar payday.

The jackpot has been rolling over since September 6, when two lucky tickets hit the jackpot for a breathtaking $1.8 billion.

For those who participated in Wednesday’s drawing, now is the perfect time to check your tickets against the winning numbers. Who knows, you might be holding a millionaire-making ticket!

The winning numbers for Wednesday were 7-8-15-19-28 and Powerball 3.

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The top 6 largest Powerball wins have all surpassed $1 billion. Powerball lottery games have potentially huge jackpots because they are played in multiple states.
