$600 Million Winning Powerball Numbers Announced

DES MOINES, Iowa (CBS/AP) — The winning numbers in Saturday night's near record-setting Powerball drawing were 22, 10, 13, 14, 52 and Powerball 11.

Officials said the latest Powerball jackpot figure results are still pending. They had estimated it at $600 million.

Saturday night's jackpot was believed to be the largest prize in the game's history and the world's second largest lottery prize.

The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.

Some states, like California, now sell tickets for both Powerball and Mega Millions.

The state expects Powerball to generate well above the originally estimated $50 million for public education, California lottery director Robert O'Neill said.

"One thing California has brought Powerball is sunshine and good fortune," he said. "It has surprised us. We're very happy."

Lottery officials also expect jackpots to continue growing faster and bigger, thanks in part to a Powerball game redesign in January 2012 that increased the odds of winning some kind of prize of a lesser amount. On Wednesday, $1 million prizes were won in 16 states, and $2 million prizes were won in two states. California had six tickets among the winning ones Wednesday.

The last major jackpot win came when a New Jersey man won a $338.3 million Powerball jackpot on March 23.

With four of every five possible combinations of Powerball numbers in play, someone is almost sure to win Saturday night's jackpot. The problem, of course, is those same odds just about guarantee the lucky person won't be you.

The chances of winning the prize remain astronomically low: 1 in 175.2 million. That's how many different ways you can combine the numbers when you play.

But since about 80 percent of the possible combinations have been purchased, lottery officials say it's likely the winning ticket could be selected.
