No one won Wednesday night's estimated $786 million Powerball jackpot, but one big-money ticket was sold in Ohio.
According to Powerball's website, an Ohio-sold ticket is a $1 million winner after five numbers were matched. The Ohio Lottery has not said where the winning ticket was sold.

The winning numbers for Wednesday, Aug. 5, were: 14-20-59-60-61 Powerball 25.
An additional 20 tickets won $50,000, after matching four numbers and the Powerball. Three of those tickets were Power Play tickets, doubling their winnings.
Lottery officials said Wednesday night's grand prize had an estimated cash value of $341.6 million, the ninth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
With no jackpot winners Wednesday, the estimated jackpot has grown to an $856 million, with a cash value of $372 million. That estimated total is the eighth-largest in the game's history.
The jackpot was last won May 2, when two tickets in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot. There have been 40 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner since then.
The next drawing will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8. Powerball is sold in 45 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the United Kingdom.
