Several people shared a bonanza of $1.6 billion (1.47 billion euros) Wednesday in the US Powerball lottery, officials and reports said, after millions tuned in to see the fate of the world-record jackpot live on TV.
The winning numbers were 4, 8, 19, 27 and 34, with a 10 as the so-called Powerball number.
Lottery fever gripped the country, with people frantically checking their $2 slips to see if they had won the world-record lottery.
"We have a winner in California! A jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Chino Hills. We're still awaiting results from other states," California Lottery tweeted.
Local television showed swarms of people, many cheering, descending on the Los Angeles convenience store where the California ticket was sold.
