The drawing took place just before 10 p.m. CST on Saturday, Jan. 6, 2018, and these are the winning numbers: 12-29-30-33-61 with Powerball 26. The multiplier is 3.
As big as the jackpot is, it's dwarfed by the record-setting $1.6 billion prize paid in January and less than the $758.7 million prize awarded to a winner in Massachusetts this past August.
If you won tonight — and that's a mighty big if — you will have beaten odds of 292,201,338 to 1. If you won, congrats. And get a financial planner at once.
