Tonight’s multistate lottery drawing was worth $448 million, or at least a $244.7 million cash value, according to the Powerball website and The Associated Press.
And now, here are the winning numbers for the Powerball jackpot:

Best of luck to each and every one of you!
And if nobody won, remember that the next drawing is Saturday night.
The allure of capturing the multimillion Powerball jackpot had players in a buying frenzy up until tonight's drawing, further confirming that Powerball players often don't get into the game until the jackpot offers big bucks, The AP reported.
A recent game change increased the frequency of huge jackpots, and Wednesday's third largest-ever jackpot comes only a few months after the biggest Powerball jackpot in history -- a $590 million pot won in Florida.
Lottery officials acknowledge smaller jackpots don't create the buzz they once did, and there's a bit of jackpot fatigue.
But when jackpots swell, people still line up for their chance at a life-changing payoff, even though the odds of winning the top prize are the same if there is a small jackpot.
