After a 10-hour delay, we finally know the winning Powerball numbers: 10, 33, 41, 47 and 56, plus 10 for the red Powerball itself.
The drawing, with a record $2.04 billion jackpot, had been delayed because of a security issue. The drawing was originally set for 10:59 p.m. Monday EST.
Officials with the Multi-State Lottery Association, the organization behind the game, said Monday night that the delay was “due to a participating lottery needing extra time to complete the required security protocols. Powerball has strict security requirements that must be met by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur.”
There are 45 states that participate in Powerball, plus Washington, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The jackpot for the drawing had previously been announced as $1.9 billion, but officials said it climbed to $2.04 billion by the time the drawing took place. As of Tuesday morning, officials hadn’t said if there were any jackpot winners.
