Powerball's $1.6 billion jackpot winner announced

The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday's $1.6 billion drawing prize, the highest lottery jackpot in history, have been made public.

Late on Saturday, it was unclear if someone had won the jackpot; the result is anticipated to be revealed early on Sunday.

According to the Powerball website, the estimated cash option for the drawing on November 5 is $782.4 million.

The Powerball jackpot has now rolled 39 times since the last time it was won on August 3.

If no one wins Saturday's jackpot, Powerball would tie the record for consecutive draws without a winner.

28, 45, 53, 56, and 69 were the winning numbers in the drawing, and the red Powerball number was 20.

Powerball jackpot winners can choose a "annuity option" over the prize pool. Since 2014, nobody has chosen an annuity.
