- 8 years ago
The winning numbers for the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history were drawn Saturday evening, but officials had not yet confirmed a winner in the $949.8-million Powerball drawing.
The numbers were: 16, 19, 32, 34, 57 and the Powerball number, 13.
Lotto fever has gripped the country for the last several days, sending players in swarms to ticket vendors that they deem lucky.
Ticket sales nationally shot the prize up by more than $49.8 million on Saturday alone.
California officials said there were no jackpot winning tickets purchased in California.
Six tickets purchased in the state, however, matched five of the six winning numbers, entitling their holders to smaller but still substantial prize money, officials said.
