Other winners
While the Powerball draw on Wednesday may not have had any grand prize winners, there were two players who managed to become instant millionaires.
This is because the two of them were able to hit the Match 5 and this allowed them to win a prize of $1 million each.
As the two players had not decided to go with the Power Play option, they missed the opportunity to see their winnings double to $2 million.
The two instant millionaires hailed from Massachusetts and Maryland. Other than these two, there were some other smaller prizes on Wednesday night.
