It's not the only winning ticket, though. Winning numbers also showed up on a ticket purchased in California. A 7-Eleven in Sacramento sold the ticket.
The $632 million dollar jackpot is the seventh-biggest in Powerball history. The two winning tickets will split the earnings.
It's unclear if each ticket was purchased by one person or more than one.
The winning ticket holder has 180 days to come forward and claim the prize.
