WISCONSIN — There was a winner in the Powerball drawing Wednesday evening.

A single ticket sold in Wisconsin matched all six numbers in the Powerball drawing to win the third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

Seven tickets matched all five white balls but missed matching the red Powerball to win a $1 million prize.

The numbers announced Wednesday are 16, 20, 37, 44, 62 and the Powerball number is 12.

A statement on the Powerball website says that due to strong ticket sales, the jackpot climbed to an estimated $768.4 million at the time of the drawing with a cash option of $477 million. It was originally estimated to be the 4th largest jackpot.
