A winning ticket for the record $2.04 billion Powerball lottery jackpot was sold in Altadena, California, lottery officials said Tuesday, making the lucky ticket holder the winner of the largest lottery prize ever.

The ticket was sold at a Joe’s Service Center, the California Lottery said on Twitter. Results posted to Powerball.com similarly said there was one winner who matched all six numbers in California – the odds of which were 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

The winning numbers, which were announced Tuesday morning after Monday night’s drawing was delayed, were 10-33-41-47-56 and the Powerball was 10, according to the association.

I was joking with my brother that California was going to steal the proceeds when the delayed the draw, although the article says it was Minnesota that delayed reporting. That being said, they originally announced there was no winner so, hmmmmmm

There were no winners in Monday's drawing, Powerball USA announced on Twitter Tuesday morning, soon after a delayed drawing took place.

This is CNN. We need to wait for something more credible. Like a FAUX News Poll or something like that.

I saw earlier this morning on the Powerball site on Twitter that no one won in the jackpot went up to 2.3 billion. They need to get their sheet together!
