A jackpot-winning ticket for Wednesday’s $94 million Powerball drawing was bought at an upstate New York liquor store, lottery officials said.

The winner purchased the lucky Powerball ticket, which has a cash value of $75.1 million, at Minogue’s Beverage Center on Route 9 in Malta, Saratoga County, according to New York Lottery officials.

Wednesday’s winning numbers were: 10, 17, 31, 51 and 53. The Powerball drawn was 1 with a Power Play of 2X.

A second-prize $2 million ticket matching five numbers but not the Powerball was sold in Texas, officials said. The winner spent an extra $1 for the Power Play option, doubling the standard $1 million prize.

In New Jersey, one third-prize ticket was bought that matched four number plus the Powerball and is worth $50,000. The retailer that sold it will be announced later Thursday.

The jackpot for Saturday’s Powerball drawing resets to $20 million with a cash option of $16 million.

Wednesday’s big win came a day after someone who purchased a Mega Millions ticket in Wisconsin hit the $119 million jackpot.

The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million, while there’s about a 1 in 913,129 shot of winning the third prize of at least $50,000.

Powerball is played on Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
