DES MOINES, Iowa (AP/WITI) — Tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot. In Wisconsin, a lucky player is holding a winning $1,000,000 ticket. Five other players also won big: a player won $30,000 and four additional players each won $10,000 in Wednesday night's drawing.

The $1,000,000 Powerball ticket was sold at Durand Avenue Mart – 3900 Durand Avenue in Racine.  The winner matched five out of five numbers, but not the Powerball.

The $30,000 winner purchased their Powerball ticket at Bob's Mini Mart – 506 Ohio Street in Oshkosh. The $30,000 winner matched four out of five numbers and the Powerball.  They also purchased the Power Play option which multiplied their $10,000 winnings by 3.

The $10,000 winners matched four out of five numbers and the Powerball. The $10,000 Powerball winning tickets were purchased at:


    Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager for the Multi-State Lottery Association, says the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States. Puerto Rico joined Powerball less than a year ago.

    Dooley had no immediate information on the specific locations of where the tickets were sold.

    Should the winners select the lump sum option, each would get a one-third share of $381,138,450.16 before taxes.

    The jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the fifth-largest U.S. lottery prize. The jackpot now goes back to $40 million.

    The winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing were: 11, 13, 25, 39, 54 and the Powerball 19.

    In related news, a Delavan man has claimed a $1,000,000 prize in the Saturday, January 17th Powerball drawing. Glenn Lyon of Delavan purchased his $1,000,000 ticket at Uncle Bucks at W7505 Rowley Road in Delavan.

    The winning Powerball numbers from January 17 were 15, 16, 23, 27 and 36 with a Powerball of 9. The Power Play number was 2. Lyon's ticket matched the five regular winning numbers, but not the Powerball.
