The top prize ever won in the Powerball lottery was back in February of 2006 when 8 workers from a meatpacking plant in Nebraska banded together to purchase the single winning ticket worth $365 million.
The winning Powerball numbers in the Wednesday drawing were 3, 16, 48, 56, 58 with a Power Ball of 4.
