Powerball Winning Numbers; Sole Winner In Florida Takes Home Millions In Ticket Drawing[VIDEO]

Saturday night's winning Powerball lottery numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball winning number of 11. The single Powerball winning ticket was sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Florida.

The Powerball winning numbers were picked by one single Floridian,  whom bought their ticket at a Publix supermarket.  It is unclear how much the individual won. Florida Lottery executive Cindy O'Connell says more details of the winner and the amount of coin he/she won will soon be released.

But way more Powerball money is still up for grabs! Powerball's online site said Sunday that the jackpot had reached an estimated $590.5 million.

With four out of every five possible combinations of Powerball numbers in play, lottery executives said earlier that someone was almost certain to win the game's highest jackpot, a windfall of hundreds of millions of dollars, and that's after taxes.

"This would be the sixth Florida Powerball winner and right now, it's the sole winner of the largest ever Powerball jackpot," O'Connell said. "We're delighted right now that we have the sole winner."

The chances of winning the prize were astronomically low: 1 in 175.2 million. That's how many different ways you can combine the numbers when you play.

Such low odds didn't deter people across Powerball-playing states, 43 plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands, from lining up at gas stations and convenience stores Saturday for their chance at striking it filthy rich.

Mini-marts across the country are setting up two separate lines for customers; one for Powerball fanatics, and one for everyone else.
