Wednesday night’s Powerball draw for $ 630 million revealed that there would be a split between two grand prize winners and several new millionaires for second prize.
The $ 630 million jackpot was the seventh highest in gaming history. The game has grown to over $ 90 million in just two days since Monday’s draw.
There were two tickets from Wednesday’s draw that matched the five white balls and the red Powerball for the grand prize. These two tickets sold, one in California and one in Wisconsin, will share the grand prize.
Here are the winning numbers for the Wednesday 05/01/22 draw:
- First Five: 06-14-25-33-46
- Powerball : 17
- Power play: 2x
There were at least 11 other people who hit the first five white balls, and minus the red Powerball, for the game’s second prize. Although the total number of second prize winners was not disclosed, the states where the tickets were purchased were announced on the Powerball website.

Two Second Prize tickets sold – one in Florida and one in Georgia – are worth $ 2 million since they bought the Power Play for $ 1 more.
There were second prize tickets worth $ 1 million in nine states that did not purchase Power Play. They have been sold in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
The Powerball game will now be reset to the minimum of $ 20 million for the Saturday 8/1/22 draw.
Wednesday’s prize was the first Powerball jackpot won since the October 4, 2021 draw for $ 699.8 million. That single ticket was sold in California. This award is the fifth largest in the history of Powerball.
