According to the game, the chance of winning the grand prize is 1 in 292.2 million.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were 22, 30, 37, 44 and 45 with a red Powerball number of 18.

The largest Powerball jackpot of 2023, and the third largest in the game’s history, was won in July by a lucky player in California, who walked away with the $1.08 billion prize, the lottery said.
Behind that was a $754.6 million grand prize won by a player in Washington in February, which is considered the sixth-largest prize ever awarded to the game.
