A winning ticket has been sold in California for the Powerball jackpot worth $1 billion, the 7th largest in U.S. history and the 3rd largest in the history of the game.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s drawing were: white balls 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and red Powerball 24.
The winner can choose either $1 billion paid out in yearly increments or a $516.8 million, one-time lump sum before taxes.
The new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing would be the seventh highest in U.S. history and the third largest for Powerball.
