Powerball Numbers Drawn For Record $1.5 Billion Jackpot
ORLANDO, Fla. (CBS/AP) -- The winning numbers in Wednesday evening's drawing of the "Powerball" game were drawn, but no winner has officially been announced.
The winning numbers drawn were: 04-08-19-27-34, Powerball: 10, Power Play: 2 (four, eight, nineteen, twenty-seven, thirty-four; Powerball: ten; Power Play: two)
The jackpot swelled to a new record, reaching $1.5 billion by Wednesday's 8 p.m. drawing.
The California Lottery tweeted that someone in California won, but there has been no word from the official Powerball website.
In Sonoma County, winning tickets were sold at the Larkfield Union 76 station at 4605 Old Redwood Highway in Santa Rosa and the Quik Stop at 601 N. Cloverdale Blvd. in Cloverdale.
The other two tickets were sold at the Chevron at 404 Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz, and the 7-Eleven at 2000 Nut Tree Rd. in Vacaville.
A total of 12 tickets with five out of six matching numbers were sold statewide. One ticket sold in San Bernadino County matched all six numbers.
It is currently unclear how much of the total jackpot each winning ticket is worth, lottery officials said.
In last Saturday's drawing, 25 people matched the five numbers and won $1 million, and three players paid the extra buck and won $2 million. Players also receive much smaller prizes for matching as few as three numbers or just the Powerball.
