The winning numbers drawn on Wednesday were 6, 27, 46, 51, 56 and the red Powerball, 21. The odds of having a winning ticket were one in 175 million, according to the lottery.
The largest US jackpot was a US$656 million prize claimed in March by the owners of three winning tickets in the MegaMillions multi-state game.
The US$320 million Powerball prize was the fourth-largest in the history of the game, which is played in 42 states plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.
