The winning ticket from Saturday night's big Powerball lottery drawing was sold in Wisconsin. Lottery officials say it was the only winning ticket sold. The winning numbers were 2-3-9-48-50 and the Powerball number was 23. The winner can take the prize as an annuity and collect $208 million -- before taxes -- over many years, or the winner can take a lump sum amount that is significantly less than the total prize.
Seven winning tickets worth $10,000 each were sold in North Carolina. (
