The numbers have been drawn for the record Powerball jackpot and now we wait to see who won.

There were two winning tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri.

Lottery officials said that the jackpot increased to $579.9 million by the time of the drawing, making the cash option $379.8 million. Americans went on a ticket-buying spree.

Tickets were selling at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide.

The jackpot had already rolled over 16 consecutive times without a winner, but Powerball officials said earlier Wednesday they believed there was a 75 percent chance the winning combination will be drawn this time. If one ticket hits the right numbers, chances are good that multiple ones will, according to some experts. That happened in the Mega Millions drawing in March, when three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, which remains the largest lottery payout of all time.

The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.

Two tickets in Indiana matched 5 numbers and not the Powerball.

One ticket was sold in Highland and another was sold in Vincennes.

Those tickets are worth $1 million dollars each.
