$1.5 Billion Powerball Drawing Has Three Winners, One In Florida
January 14, 2016
Winning jackpot tickets in Wednesday’s record $1.59 billion Powerball drawing were sold in Florida, California and Tennessee.
Florida’s winning ticket was purchased at Publix on Highway A1A in Melbourne Beach. Another winning ticket was sold in Chino Hills, CA, east of Los Angeles, according to the California Lottery, and a third in Munford, TN.
The drawing also produced 11 $1 million winners in Florida, along with one $2 million winner.
The winning Powerball numbers were 8-27-34-4-19 PB 10.
The jackpot winning tickets marked the first time the winning numbers were sold since November 7 when a series of 20 prize rollovers began.
Hundreds of people crowded stores to purchase tickets Wednesday in North Escambia, including Davisville where lottery hopefuls gridlocked traffic on Highway 97 just out of Atmore.
