Minnesotans didn't fare so well in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, but one lucky ticket holder in Pennsylvania matched all six numbers to win the $58.6 million jackpot.

That person can take a lump sum payment of $30,207,012 or the entire prize in installments over the next 29 years.

The winning numbers Wednesday were 20, 30, 37, 50 and 52 and the Powerball was 33.

Two players, one each in Colorado and Iowa, won $200,000 while another 406,191 players won some cash Wednesday, lottery officials said.

One player in Minnesota matched four numbers and exercised the Power Play option to pick up $20,000 while 42 others in the state won $10,000, according to Powerball officials.

The next drawing will take place at 9:59 p.m. Central Time. The jackpot will be worth $15 million.
