N.C., Puerto Rico, Texas tickets win
DES MOINES, Iowa — Tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas have matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot, lottery officials said today.
Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager and production coordinator for the Multi-State Lottery Association, said the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States.
Wednesday’s jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the fifth-largest U.S. lottery prize.
