The numbers have been drawn for the $570 million Powerball lottery jackpot, which was won by a resident of New Hampshire.

The winner's home state was announced by Powerball's official web site late Saturday. 

The winning numbers are 12-29-30-33-61 and Powerball 26.

Powerball also announced that there were five winners of its third prize on Saturday.

Residents of Connecticut, New Jersey, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington will walk away with $1million each.

A Powerball winner may choose to receive the jackpot in 30 annual payments or a one-time, lump-sum cash payment.

The odds of winning Powerball are one in 292.2 million. 

The lucky New Hampshirite won't stay anonymous for long. By law, any resident of the Granite State who claims a lotto prize must have their name, hometown, and the amount won made public.

The Powerball draw comes a night after a single ticket in Florida scooped all $450million of the Mega Millions on Friday night. 

The ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in the small, suburban city of Port Richey near Tampa. 

The winner has not yet been identified. The winning Mega Millions numbers were 28, 30, 39, 59, 70 and the Gold Mega Ball was 10. 

The prize was the fourth-largest Mega Millions in US history and tenth largest overall, including Powerball.

Saturday's Powerball drawing is worth $570million, with a $358.5million lump-sum payment and the fifth-largest in its history

Together, the two jackpots constituted the third-largest combined total.

Long odds have not stopped 'lottery fever' from spreading, with people lining up at retailers to buy the $2 tickets, said Jeff Lenard, spokesman for the National Association of Convenience Stores, whose members sell about 60 per cent of the nation's lottery tickets.

'There's definitely more traffic,' Lenard said.

Americans spent $80.5billion on lottery games last year, according to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries.

Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mega Millions tickets are offered in the same locations excluding Puerto Rico.

The largest Powerball jackpot was a $1.6billion payout split among winners in California, Florida and Tennessee in January 2016, the association said.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot of $656million was won in 2012.

No one has hit either jackpot since October, allowing the totals to balloon. On Wednesday, no one won the Powerball jackpot worth an estimated $460million.

A day earlier, no one matched all six numbers in Mega Millions drawing, lottery officials said.

The estimated totals are before taxes are assessed.

The odds of picking the right six numbers for the Mega Millions jackpot are 303 million to 1, the game said.

'When the jackpots reach these levels, everyone starts to daydream about what they would do if they won,' Gordon Medenica, Mega Millions lead director, said in a statement.
