The record setting $1.6 billion Powerball Jackpot is going to be split among three ticket holders from Tennessee, California and Florida. The lucky winners are still not identified. They will collect their winnings in 30 payments throughout the years and each will get a 1/3 share of $983.5 million in a lump-sum payment. The six winning numbers for the $1.6 billion jackpot picked in the Wednesday draw were 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and Powerball 10. The lottery draw also created eight $2 million PowerPlay winners. In addition, 73 winners who matched five balls but missed the Powerball number got $1 million.
