Didn't win the giant Mega Millions jackpot?
You still have a shot at scoring a Powerball jackpot worth $865 million Wednesday night.
The numbers selected were: 37, 46, 57, 60, 66 and the Powerball 8.
The Powerball drawing comes a day after a player in New Jersey won a $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize after 30 straight drawings without a winner.

The $865 million prize is for a sole winner who is paid over 30 years through an annuity. Winners usually opt for a cash payout, which for Wednesday night’s drawing would be an estimated $416.1 million.
The largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history stands at $2.04 billion and was won by a single Powerball ticket in California on Nov. 7, 2022. The winner, Edwin Castro, came forward earlier this year after months of speculation.
The game’s odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to create big jackpots that will grab attention and increase sales.
