In the draw last night , Saturday 7th May 2016 one single ticket holder matched the main ball numbers of 05-25-26-44-66 and the Powerball of 09 and thus the annuitised $415 million jackpot was won.
One lucky ticket holder won the first prize but also seven lucky ticket holders ,one from California , two from Illinois , three from New York and one from Virginia won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw .
The second prize ticket holder from California won $1,299,421 with the second prize ticket holders from Illinois, New York and Virginia winning $1 million each.
