History was made Wednesday night (July 20) when someone won the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot. They're not the only ones who take home millions of dollars -- five Floridians won at least $1 million during the historic drawing.
The winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were: 7, 10, 11, 13, 24, and Powerball 24. According to the California Lottery, the winning ticket was sold in Los Angeles. It's the third-largest jackpot to be paid out in the game's history, Powerball stated in a news release.
Three $2 million winning tickets were sold in the country. The Florida Lottery said one of them was purchased from a Publix located at 101 N. Blairstone Road in Tallahassee. The other two were sold in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, according to officials.
