One ticket sold on Staten Island in New York won the $245.6 million Powerball jackpot on Saturday night.
The ticket matched all five white balls -- 5, 43, 56, 62, 68 --and the red Powerball 24, lottery officials announced Sunday.

It was the sixth time the Powerball jackpot has been won this year with the highest $559.7 million on Jan. 6.
The lottery prize is about about $147 million in a lump sum rather than an annuity over 30 years.
The Powerball jackpot resets to $40 million for the Wednesday night drawing.
Powerball is offered in 44 States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
