The numbers selected were 3-9-10-20-62 and the red Powerball was 25. The multiplier was 3X.

Two tickets -- one in New Jersey and one in Wisconsin -- matched five numbers for a $1 million payday.

If someone should choose all six numbers in Monday’s drawing, they will have two options: An annuity, in which the winner receives one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, or the lump sum option. Choosing the second option will make the cash value amount approximately $272.2 million before taxes, lottery officials said.
