Christmas Day, 2002, brought one lucky winner a better gift than they could have ever dreamed of - a $314.9 million lottery jackpot. The largest single-winning lottery ticket in U.S. history was purchased in West Virginia, according to Powerball spokesman, Sue Dooley. No other details were immediately available. The winning numbers were 53-14-5-16-29, and the Powerball was 7.
The whopping $280 million Powerball jackpot, building since just before Halloween, jumped to $314.9 million shortly before the numbers were drawn Wednesday evening due to higher than expected Christmas Day ticket sales. After Saturday's drawing failed to produce a winner, people converged on stores across Pennsylvania and other Powerball states to purchase tickets for the Christmas Day drawing, with lines often stretching outside store doors and even around corners. Pennsylvania lottery officials estimated that as many as 600 tickets per second were being sold across the state on Christmas Eve.
