Lucky numbers that bring someone a fortune — 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 and Powerball 4.
In three luckies from Florida matched the first 5 numbers. They will receive one million dollars.
Twenty-four people won $ 50,000 each: they have matched 4 numbers plus the Powerball number. And the other four winners will receive $ 200,000 each, as they also fell lucky number 4.
It is the second largest prize in Powerball lottery history (in 2016, the jackpot 1.58 billion was shared between three winners).
Taking into account all payments and taxes, the winner will receive a cash 480,5 million dollars.
The chance of winning was 1 to 292 million.
A member of the lottery Powerball can be almost anyone (the lottery is not given to people in the States of Nevada, Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Alaska and Hawaii), buying a ticket for only $ 1-2.
