Powerball announced about 90 minutes immediately after the drawing that jackpot winning tickets were sold in California and Wisconsin.
The world's biggest jackpot was a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot in March 2012.
Powerball tickets, which expense $2 each, are sold in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Those prizes also would be subject to federal taxes, and most states would take a reduce as properly.
