Winning Tickets For Record $1.6B Powerball Jackpot Sold In Three States!

History's largest-ever lottery jackpot has at least three lucky winners. Three states — California, Florida and Tennessee — sold winning tickets for the monster $1.58 billion Powerball lottery, according to California lottery spokesman Russ Lopez. There was no immediate information on who the winners might be. Six numbers — 08, 27, 34, 04, 19 — and Powerball 10 were drawn Wednesday night in the historic lottery event. The three winners will split the colossal jackpot resulting in $528.8 million prize for each, according to officials. One of the winning tickets was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, California, officials said. Local TV helicopters captured images of a large crowd of people gathering at the 7-Eleven, with crowds chanting "Chino Hills! Chino Hills!" Tennessee's winning ticket — the state's second Powerball jackpot winner in a row — was sold in Munford, the Tennessee lottery said in a statement. A Publix supermarket in Melbourne Beach sold Florida's winner, according to the Florida Lottery Commission.
