(CNN/CBS13) -- Hey, somebody's got to win it sometime, right? Well that time came Wednesday as one of the two winning tickets for the $630 million Powerball jackpot was sold in Sacramento.

The winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven on Wyndham Drive in South Sacramento near Kaiser. Another was sold in Wisconsin.

Powerball ticket sales soared across the country.

The $630 million jackpot, the Multi-State Lottery Association says, was higher than estimates and fueled by fast-growing numbers of people plopping down 2 bucks for a million-to-1 shot at the fortune.

Actually, the odds were way worse than that: 1 in 292.2 million, Powerball says.

Chances of winning a prize are better -- 1 in 24.9, Powerball says.

The last Powerball jackpot winner claimed a $699.8 million grand prize on October 4 in California.

Wednesday night's drawing was for the seventh-largest jackpot in Powerball history, with a cash value of $448.4 million.
