One winner took home the whopping $731.1 million jackpot in Wednesday night’s historic Powerball lottery drawing. The jackpot was the fourth-largest in Powerball history, with a single winning ticket being sold in Maryland.

The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday, Jan. 20, were 40, 53, 60, 58, 69, with a red Powerball of 22. The Power Play was 3X.

Wednesday night’s winner will have the option to take an estimated annuity of $731.1 million that will be paid out in graduated payments over 29 years or a lump sum payment of $546.8 million. Both prizes are before taxes.

While only one player took home the $731.1 million jackpot, there were over 4.4 million tickets that won prizes that ranged from $4 to $2 million, according to the lottery.

There were 13 other instant millionaires of the night, with one player matching the Match 5 and Power Play for $2 million and 12 people matching the Match 5, winning $1 million each. Another 18 players won $150,000 for matching the Match 4, Powerball, and Power Play, and 104 people won $50,000 for the Match 4 and Powerball.
