Winning Powerball ticket from Fla.
The Florida Lottery said a Florida player was one of three nationally to win the record-setting $1.58 billion Powerball jackpot on Jan. 13.
“We are thrilled to announce that Wednesday night’s drawing produced Florida’s 11th Powerball jackpot winner and Florida had more than 2.1 million winning tickets statewide,” Florida Lottery Secretary Tom Delacenserie said. “This series of Powerball jackpot rollovers, which began on Nov. 7, 2015, has generated more than $114.6 million for education and created 18 new Florida millionaires.”
The Florida Lottery is the second largest-selling lottery in the country and has produced more Powerball winners than any other state since joining the game in 2009, according to a news release from lottery officials.
The winning numbers were 4-8-19-27-34 and the Powerball was 10.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Publix, at 3830 Highway A1A, Melbourne Beach. The retailer will receive $100,000 for selling the jackpot winning ticket.
The winner’s share of the jackpot comes to $528.6 million. He or she has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim his or her prize, according to Delacenserie.
However, to choose the one-time, lump-sum cash payment option, the claim must be filed within 60 days after the winning draw date.
Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing also produced 11 $1 million winners and one $2 million winner in Florida.
The winning $2 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Sav-A-Ton, at 199 North Country Club Road, Lake Mary.
The locations of where the 11 $1 million winning Powerball tickets were purchased are as follows:
