The Powerball jackpot was an estimated $546 million with a cash option of $255.6 million for the Saturday, November 15 drawing. As usual, the lottery fever gripped millions across the country, each hoping to be one of the lucky few who would strike it rich overnight.
So, what were those magic numbers that could change someone's life in an instant? The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday night were 23, 45, 67, 89, and 10. And the Powerball number was a measly 3. If you're holding a ticket with these digits, congratulations—you've just won yourself a fortune.
