This just in: A winning ticket at a Zephyrhills, Florida Publix supermarket was sold for the record Powerball jackpot of $590.5 million. The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11. The $148 million in taxes on $590.5 million could fund the city government for 12 years. If the winner takes the lump sum of $370 million, it will be the second largest ever in U.S. history.
