Three winning tickets from Wednesday's $448 million jackpot will be split Reuters reported.

Two tickets were reportedly sold in New Jersey with the other coming from Minnesota.

The numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 5, 25, 30, 58, 59 with the Powerball being 32.

According to Reuters, Minnesota Powerball lottery officials are currently attempting to verify that a state resident indeed purchased a ticket with the winning numbers at an unknown store in Anoka County, part of the northern region of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The store will not be known until the money is declared.

If all goes well, the ticket will be worth $86 million through a lump sum which pans out to $58.3 million after taxes lottery officials told the service.

A South Brunswick New Jersey Super Stop and Shop supermarket and a Little Egg Harbor, N.J. Acme Markets sold the states two winning tickets, according to Reuters.

Stop and Shop Store manager Howard Witzgall said he was happy for whoever purchased the winning ticket.

"It's nice. It's good for whoever won," he said in a statement.

The jackpot rose to $448 million Wednesday night after reaching $425 million that afternoon, with the chances of winning at one in 175 million Reuters said. The odds of winning the jackpot were about one in 175 million.

Powerball can be played in 43 states including the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Those in Kansas, Maryland, Delaware, North Dakota, and Ohio can remain anonymous according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

The current lottery jackpot is $40 million dollar which comes out to a cash value of $23 million dollars.

The Multi-State Lottery Association consists of 33 members who supervise at least one lottery game. State lotteries keep the profits, which are then utilized for projects according to the association's website.
