Powerball $590 million jackpot won by 84-year-old Florida woman We are grateful for this blessing of winning the Florida Lottery Powerball jackpot and appreciate the interest of the public, the State of Florida and the lottery. She asked for privacy and referred any further inquiries to her lawyer and her financial adviser. The winner's name had to be revealed under Florida law, but the recipient had no obligation to publicly acknowledge the prize, lottery officials said. The winning numbers from the drawing were: 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball number of 11. The odds of winning were put at 1 in 175 million. The grand prize in the May 18 drawing had accumulated over two months, and surpassed the previous record Powerball payout of $587.5 million set in November 2012. The largest jackpot in U.S. history stands at $656 million, won in the Mega Millions lottery of March 2012. That prize was split between winners in Maryland, Kansas and Illinois.
