What Would You Do With Your Powerball Millions?
Three winners, two in New Jersey and one in Minnesota, took the $448 million pot Wednesday night. How would you spend the cash?
A lucky Burnsville couple took home a $229 million Powerball jackpot in 2011, and unfortunately, luck didn't strike the same town twice Wednesday night.
However, there was luck in the state.
Three winners, one in Minnesota and two in New Jersey, had winning tickets after Wednesday night's drawing for $448 million (the third largest jackpot ever). The winning numbers were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32. The winning Minnesota ticket was sold in Anoka County, however, details as to where haven't been released yet.
According to USA Today, after taxes the three winners will split $258,163,064.
Minnesota tends to be a lucky place when it comes to lotto winnings. According to the Minnesota State Lottery, Mark Lagerquist of Brooklyn Center just won $500,000 on July 22 through Sparkling 7s. A few dozen other winners from the metro area have claimed some nice size pots since the beginning of 2013.
