Two winners won the third largest Powerball jackpot in the history of the game. Two lucky ticket holders from Iowa and New York claimed the grand prize.
The winning numbers for the $ 687.8 million prize were 8-12-13-19-27 and a Powerball of 4.
The cash payment is $ 396.2 million and each winner will win $ 198.1 million in the split jackpot.
The winning ticket in New York was sold in a grocery store in West Harlem, Manhattan. Iowa plans to announce where the winning ticket was sold later Sunday morning.
There were also $ 2 million winners in Texas and Florida to match the five white balls to the added Power Play, and at least nine million dollar winners to match the five white balls.
Saturday's total was slightly reduced from the estimated $ 750 million earlier in the week.
The draw follows a record $ 1.5 billion draw by Mega Millions earlier this week. The jackpot was won by a single ticket in South Carolina.
The biggest lotto in the history of the United States remains a $ 1.59 billion Powerball since January 2016. The second biggest of all time is the Mega Millions of last week and the third is a Powerball $ 758 million from August 2017.
Saturday's draw is the fourth most important lotto ever.
