Paul Corcoran of Fitchburg, Massachusetts took home $2 million after accidentally purchasing an extra Powerball ticket last week.

More than 405,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

There have been 12 grand prizes that reached $1 billion or more, and only once in US history did a jackpot surpass $2 billion.

A Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold in Manhattan for Wednesday night's drawing, the New York Lottery announced Thursday.

Hoosier Lottery Powerball tickets should be checked carefully as one entry matched four out of five numbers and the Powerball in Wednesday night’s drawing.

A very lucky man in Massachusetts won big – twice – when he purchased two winning Powerball tickets worth $1 million.

Each ticket won $22,777. These tickets must be cashed at the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but aren’t required.

Lottery officials said that two lottery players from Illinois are now millionaires after winning Wednesday's Powerball jackpot.
