The estimated jackpot for Wednesday evening’s multi-state Powerball lottery drawing hit $194 million.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the lottery.

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in New York and is worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced.

The numbers drawn Monday were 2, 42, 47, 57, 58 and the Powerball number was 14. The estimated jackpot was $181 million.

The drawing was the 13th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
