The Powerball lightning bolt has finally struck. Lucky ticket holders in three states — California, Florida and Tennessee — will split a record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot that had lured of millions of lottery hopefuls into a frenzied buying spree until the last moments.
The winners beat the 1-in-292.2 million odds by picking the magic combination: 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and Powerball 10.
The winners can opt for annual payments over decades or a lump-sum payment.
No one has stepped forward yet to claim a share, but everyone now knows where the winning tickets were sold: Chino Hills, Calif.; Munford, Tenn.; and Melbourne Beach, Fla.
When word spread that a winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, hundreds of people who won’t get a dime basked in the glory anyway, many taking selfies with the store clerk on duty because, well, why not?.
