The top prize for Wednesday night's Powerball multi-state lottery is at nearly a quarter-billion dollars.

Could you be the winner(s)? The numbers are: 12, 14, 34, 39 and 46, with a Powerball of 36.

The jackpot is $245 million. If a single player matches all six numbers and chooses the cash option, he or she would receive a one-time payout of approximately $146 million before taxes.

The Powerball jackpot has rolled over 13 times since Lithonia's Kathy Scruggs won $25 million in the Sept. 14 drawing.

The Mega Millions jackpot reset to $12 million after a single ticket in California matched all six numbers -- 27, 31, 39, 40 and 46, with a Mega Ball of 36 -- in Tuesday night's drawing. That player won $78 million.
