Biggest Powerball jackpot winner and lucky numbers are... LA: Do you have the lucky ticket? The winning Powerball numbers drawn late Saturday are 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 with Powerball number 11.

Four out of every five possible combinations of numbers were in play, Powerball officials said. The jackpot of the 43-state lottery game surged ahead of the drawing, and had been estimated at $600 million. Powerball officials said after the drawing that the final amount was $590.5 million - still the second-largest pot in US lottery history.

The drawing took place at 10:59 p.m. ET, but results were still pending Saturday.

The chances of winning the big prize are low - 1 in 175.2 million - but it didn't stop hopeful Americans across the country from purchasing about 80 percent of all possible combinations, according to lottery officials.

The estimated jackpot surpassed Powerball's previous record set in November 2012, when the jackpot jumped to $587.5 million before two winners split the prize.

The largest jackpot ever claimed was a $656 million Mega Millions prize split three ways in March.

The estimated cash value of Saturday's drawing, should a winner choose to be paid in one lump sum, would be $376.9 million -- before taxes, of course.

Tiffany Satchell told NBCMiami.com that she knows exactly what she'd do if she won."Pay off all my bills," she said. "I really want a Range Rover."
