The Powerball numbers were released on Saturday night in one of the biggest jackpots in history.
Powerball posted the following:
With the #Powerball #jackpot current cash value, you could afford to build 10 new Statues of Liberty! The winner should definitely build at least two or three.
It’s not long until the draw! https://t.co/q0imRaOhOZ #luckynumbers #powerballjackpot #powerballUSA pic.twitter.com/SmSLRfPJzZ

15 minutes past the hour the site was still down. Other sites showed the winning numbers.
It turns out that some lucky winners in Texas and Missouri had the winning numbers.
Players in Missouri and Texas won the nearly $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot Saturday night, the second largest prize in U.S. lottery history, after more than three months without a big winner.
Two lucky tickets — one sold in Missouri, the other in Texas — matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing, according to Powerball.
The winning numbers in Saturday night’s drawing were: 11, 23, 44, 61 and 62 with Powerball 17.
The winning ticketholders, who will share the jackpot, can choose between a lump sum cash payment of $410.3 million or $893.5 million spread out over 30 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
