While the identities of the three winners of Wednesday’s record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot aren’t yet known, the stores that sold the prize tickets are. The tickets were sold in California, Florida and Tennessee.
The California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills. Florida’s prize ticket was sold at a Publix grocery store in Melbourne Beach. In Tennessee, the ticket was sold in Munford, north of Memphis, at Naifeh’s Food Mart.
The stores that sold the winning jackpot tickets will be rewarded. The 7-Eleven will get $1 million; Publix, $100,000; and Naifeh’s, $25,000, according to reports.
The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were 4-8-19-27-34 and Powerball 10. The chances of winning: one in 292 million.
The Powerball jackpot has been reset at $40 million, and the next drawing is Saturday. Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
