The jackpot will be shared between the two winners, meaning they each take home $316.3 million before taxes.
The jackpot size was initially helped by the fact that nobody had won it since October, when one player took home almost $700m. Following Wednesday's draw, the next Powerball jackpot – on Saturday night – will start at $20m.
