Lottery officials said that winning tickets were sold in Texas, North Carolina and Puerto Rico.
The numbers drawn were: 25, 11, 54, 13 and 39, with a Powerball of 19.
The jackpot, marking the fifth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history, has been growing for the past two months, gradually increasing since starting at $40 million.
Experts say the odds of winning are about 175 million to one. Apparently, at least three people beat those odds.
