Lottery players were in the running for the massive $353 million Powerball jackpot during Wednesday’s drawing.

The winning numbers are 26, 30, 33, 37, 62 and the Powerball was 6. The power play was 2X.

According to the Powerball website, no ticket holder won either the $2 million or $1 million prize.

Fourteen tickets were one number shy of striking the jackpot.

The next Powerball drawing is Oct. 8 while the estimated jackpot increases to $378 million. Jackpot hopefuls have a cash option of $198.7 million.

The last winner of the Powerball jackpot was in August, when a single ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched all six numbers for the $206.9 million prize.
