Before taxes, the estimated cash value of the prize is $1.08 billion, and the ticket holder has a choice between this value or a lump-sum "cash value" payment of $558.1 million.

The winning numbers revealed Wednesday were 7, 13, 10, 24, and 11, and the Powerball number was 24, per the official Powerball website.

Wednesday’s amount stands as the seventh-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever, and third-largest Powerball jackpot.

The Powerball has the largest lottery jackpot to date, with $2.04 billion being won on Nov. 7 of last year. The ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, California.
