A lucky player could win an estimated $835 million in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing and secure the game’s second largest prize of the year.

Wednesday’s grand prize, which could also be paid in the United States as a one lump-sum payment of $357.9 million before taxes, trails the $1.04 billion prize won in Illinois in August, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs Powerball.
