DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — At least three people in two states have beaten astronomical odds to become the nation's latest Powerball millionaires.
Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager production coordinator for the Multi-State Lottery Association, said late Wednesday night that three tickets matched the winning numbers and will split the lottery's latest massive jackpot: $448 million.
"We had three grand prize winners," Dooley said. "One was in Minnesota and two were in New Jersey."
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32.
Lottery officials in the Garden State confirmed that two of the three tickets were sold in New Jersey. A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Lottery said one of the tickets was purchased at a Super Stop & Shop store in South Brunswick and the other one at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.
Information on the Minnesota ticket was not available early Thursday.
