Three lottery winners matched all six Powerball winning numbers on May 25, 2013, and will split the $50 million jackpot, said Powerball Lottery officials on Saturday.
The Powerball lottery winners will split a much smaller jackpot with winners in Louisiana and Delaware. The winners which managed to correctly match all six numbers and will split the $50 million jackpot - about $16,666,666 each. The three tickets were sold in Delaware, Florida and Louisiana. The cash value of Saturday's prize was not immediately available.
Numbers drawn were 2, 6, 19, 21, 27 and the Powerball of 25.
Lottery officials in Louisiana and Florida said Saturday's winning tickets were bought in New Orleans and Tampa. Delaware's lottery website did not say where that state's winner was bought.
Each winner will get a third of the estimated $50 million jackpot. A week ago, a ticket bought in Zephyrhills, Fla., won $590 million over 20 years or a cash prize estimated at $376.9 million.
The next jackpot on this coming Wednesday will return to $40 million. Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The record jackpot reached $590 million in May 2013.
