The winning numbers for the drawing were 6, 14, 25, 33, 46 and the Powerball 17.
One of the lucky tickets was purchased in Sacramento, California, at a 7-Eleven, according to the California Lottery. The other was sold in Wisconsin.
“The lucky ticket holders will split the $632.6 million jackpot. Each ticket is worth an annuitized $316.3 million or $225.1 million cash,” a Powerball news release stated. “Both prize options are prior to taxes.
Each retailer that sold the tickets will also receive a $1 million bonus.
