The Powerball jackpot has not been hit since Dec. 7, when a New York player won the $256 million grand prize, lottery officials said. To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

A lucky New Jersey lottery player won $2 million playing Powerball in Wednesday night's drawing, according to the Powerball website. The winning ticket matched the five white balls and had the Powerplay to double the prize. The winning ticket was sold through the third-party lottery app Jackpocket.com, according to the New Jersey Lottery.
