The winning numbers were drawn for Powerball’s $1.6 billion jackpot on Saturday night.
Just after 11 p.m., Powerball announced the monumental winning digits were 28, 45, 53, 56, 69 and 20.
Lottery players might need had big dreams to grow to be billionaires but that they had only a 1 in 292 million likelihood of winning the jackpot, officials said.
The large winnings continued to grow stupendously because the Powerball series hit its fortieth consecutive run with no grand prize winner striking gold since Aug. 3.
The jackpot climbed to a record-breaking $1.6 billion Thursday — a $782.4 million money value — marking the third time the lotto had ever surpassed $1.5 billion within the US.
Though there have been no grand prize winners earlier this week, several players made off with $2 million after hitting all five numbers while multiple others took home $1 million for matching the five numbers without the multiplier.
The mouth-watering grand prize enticed hundreds of players to try their luck, including those that normally don’t gamble, including deli owners who were selling the tickets.
