ALL ABOUT POWER BALL'S 7th LARGEST JACKPOT IN HISTORY
Though hope-filled residents have been checking their tickets this morning, they have quickly realized that the winning tickets of last night's Power Ball drawing were purchased in California and Wisconsin. It was the seventh largest jackpot in history.
The winning numbers for the $632.6 million grand prize were 6, 14, 25, 33 and 46. The red Powerball was 17. The winners will split the jackpot, according to the lottery website, or have the option of $450.2 million in cash.
In addition to the grand prize winners, there were also Match 5 + Power Play $2 million winners in Florida and Georgia and Match 5 $1 million winners in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
The jackpot is now down to a much smaller estimated $20 million with a cash value of $14.2 million ahead of Saturday's drawing.
When are the Powerball drawings?
Powerball drawings are held three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
How to play Powerball
Powerball costs $2 per play.
To play, select five numbers from one to 69 for the white balls, then select one number from one to 26 for the red Powerball.
You can choose your lucky numbers on a play slip or let the lottery terminal randomly pick your numbers.
To win, match one of the 9 Ways to Win:
5 white balls + 1 red Powerball = Grand prize
5 white balls = $1 million
4 white balls = 1 red Powerball = $50,000
4 white balls = $100
3 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $100
3 white balls = $7
2 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $7
1 white ball + 1 red Powerball = $4
1 red Powerball = $4
There's a chance to have your winnings increased two, three, four, five and 10 times through the Power Play for an additional $1 per play. Players can multiply non-jackpot wins up to 10 times when the jackpot is $150 million or less.
All prizes are set cash amounts, except for the Grand Prize. In California, prize payout amounts are pari-mutuel, meaning it's determined by the sales and the number of winners.
