At least three winning tickets were sold in a record $1.5 billion Powerball drawing, including one in Florida, one in Tennessee and one in California.

The magical numbers for Wednesday night's record-shattering Powerball were 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and the Powerball of 10.

According to The Associated Press, no details on on the Florida and Tennessee winners are available yet, but it has been confirmed that the winning California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Chino Hills.

Chino Hills is a suburban city of roughly 75,000 in San Bernardino County with an average household income of about $96,000.

To win the gigantic sum, the ticket must match all five numbers (in any order) and the red Powerball number.

The Powerball website was down at the time of drawing, possibly from a deluge of excited visitors.

According to officials, the last drawing on Jan. 9 was the 19th in a row where there were no big winners, though some people did pick up smaller prizes.

All told, since the jackpot started on Nov. 7, more than 1.3 billion tickets have been sold, according to the Texas Lottery. Each ticket had about a 1 in 292 million chance of being the winner.
