Lottery players looking to get rich quick were on the edge of their seats Wednesday night as the numbers were drawn for the astounding $1.2 billion Powerball jackpot.

The Powerball jackpot for Saturday, Nov. 5 will be an estimated $1.5 billion.

The winning numbers were 2, 11, 22, 35 and 60. The Powerball was 23.

Nobody won the jackpot, but some lucky players won $2 million and $1 million prizes.

Ticket holders in New Jersey, Arizona and Montana hit all five numbers, plus a two-times multiplier for $2 million.

Players in 12 states, including New York, New Jersey, California and North Carolina, won $1 million by matching all five numbers without the multiplier.

Wednesday’s jackpot, a cash value of $596.7 million, was the second-largest sum of money in Powerball history and the largest prize in more than six years.

Ticket-holders in New York, California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Texas won one million bucks by matching all five white balls on Monday.
