FLORIDA, USA — While no one won the ultimate Powerball jackpot for over a billion dollars, one lucky person in the Tampa Bay area has a million-dollar ticket.
The Florida Lottery says the winning ticket was purchased from a Publix in Apollo Beach located at 5052 N US Highway 41.
According to the Florida Lottery’s website, the ticket matched all five numbers, except the Powerball.
The Powerball jackpot officially broke the record for the largest prize ever offered in a U.S. lottery — and kept growing.
Saturday's jackpot soared to $1.6 billion after a strong sales boost. With no big winner, the estimated grand prize is now at a shocking $1.9 billion, according to the California Lottery's website.
The winning numbers for Saturday's drawing were 28-45-53-56-69, Powerball 20 and Power Play 3. The next drawing is on Monday, Nov. 7.
