The holder can select between a $473.1 million annuity paid out in 30 progressive increments over 29 years or a $283.3 million lump-sum payment (both not counting taxes).
The second-largest Powerball prize of the year
With a Powerball number of 4, the winning numbers were 11, 36, 61, 62, and 68.
On Wednesday, the smaller rewards included a $1 million award for a single ticket sold in Indiana. The five white balls on that ticket matched the numbers drawn, but not the red Powerball.
This is the year's third Powerball jackpot victory. The biggest prize of the year, a $632.6 million jackpot shared between two tickets in California and Wisconsin in early January, was also the seventh-largest in Powerball history. The other big winner this year was a $185.3 million prize on February 14.
Wednesday's jackpot victory isn't among the top ten jackpot wins in the game's history, which begin at $564.1 million in February 2015 and ended at $1.586 billion (January 2016).
