3 winners for $448 million Powerball jackpot ... but not in Wash. state
(CNN) -- Three winning $448 million Powerball tickets were sold in Minnesota and New Jersey, Lottery officials said after the drawing Wednesday night.
There was a $10,000 Powerball ticket sold in Washington state, the Washington Lottery said.
The winning Powerball jackpot numbers were 58, 5, 25, 59, 30 ... and Powerball number 32.
Three tickets matched all six numbers and would split the $448 million jackpot; one ticket was in Minnesota and two were in New Jersey.
The size of U.S. lottery jackpots are growing, with almost no end in sight.
"You could see maybe in the next several years ... an elusive billion-dollar jackpot," said Victor Matheson, economics professor at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts.
IPowerball is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A single ticket costs $2.
The largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history was $656 million in the Mega Millions game in March 2012. That was split among three tickets sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland. In case you do win it all Wednesday night, a $245 million lump sum can give you some choices.
