POWERBALL PURCHASE Brent Cassar, right, enters Powerball numbers on Tuesday evening for customer Alberto Almasan at the Towne Market in Phillipsburg for Wednesday's record drawing.
Well, if you didn't buy your Powerball ticket in Arizona or Missouri, you're not a big winner in Wednesday night's $579.9 million lottery.

The numbers drawn were 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6. The cash value was $379.8 million, which will be split by the two winners, if they choose to take it that way.

But $1 million tickets -- matching all five white balls -- were sold in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the multi-state lottery announced on its website. There were no $2 million Match 5 Powerplay winners in either state.

Nearly 9 million tickets won something and the lottery will pay out more than $131 million to nonjackpot winners, the lottery reports.

Wednesday's jackpot was the third highest payout in history and the second highest in the U.S.. Saturday night's prize? $40 million (cash value $26.2 million).
