The winning Powerball numbers were 02, 06, 19, 21, 27, while the Powerball winning number was 25.
Floridan, Louisianan, and Delaware winners celebrated tonight, when they are able to split a 50-million dollar Powerball prize.
The $2 tickets were also able to bring fortunes to 9 other winners. A Connecticut player was able to obtain $2 million, while eight other winners each won $1 million.
All the combinations of the Powerball, 1-59 for the first 5 numbers and 1-36 for the last Powerball winning number, allows for 175.2 million permutations. With 3 winners winning this jackpot together, the chances of such an event is astronomical, 1 in 5.38 Septillion.
Unfortunately, even though the event is rarer, the winners will still only be able to take home 16.7 million, unlike the 50 million that would be won by a single winner.
The next jackpot for Wednesday will be an estimated $40 million. As time passes, the estimated amount will increase again and again until it reaches another all-time high. A previous winner won $590.5 million, paid over a period of 20 years.
