LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three Powerball tickets will be splitting the record $1.6 billion jackpot. A California lottery official says winning tickets in last night’s drawing were sold in Tennessee, Florida and Chino Hills, California, near Los Angeles.

The frenzy over the largest Powerball jackpot in history paid off for the state of Kansas.

Kansas Lottery officials say sales for the Wednesday’s Powerball drawing were a record $9.68 million. The previous record was $6.77 million, set just last Saturday.

Lottery spokeswoman Sally Lunsford says the state recorded $5.31 million in sales in Kansas on Wednesday alone.

Three winning tickets were sold for Wednesday’s Powerball but none were in Kansas. However, two $1 million Powerball winning tickets were sold in the state, one in the southwest and one in south central Kansas.

The winning numbers were 4-8-19-27-34 and the Powerball was 10.
