TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Powerball officials say the record jackpot has been won.
Early Thursday morning officials confirmed that two winning tickets were sold: One in Arizona and one in Missouri. An additional 8,924,123 players won smaller prizes.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.
Two tickets were sold in Michigan for $1 million. Officials say tickets were sold at the CVS pharmacy at 13250 Ford Road in Dearborn and East Paris Discount Liquor In Kentwood.

A lottery official said late Wednesday that the jackpot increased to $587 million by the time of the drawing, making the cash option $379.8 million.
The drawing Wednesday night for the Multi-State Lottery Association's prize followed 16 consecutive drawings that produced no top winner, boosting the Powerball to the second-largest potential lottery payout in U.S. history.
Tickets earlier Wednesday were selling at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide, the jackpot enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery.
