A single ticket sold in New Jersey has matched all six numbers for the $338.3m (£222.1m) US Powerball jackpot - the sixth highest in history.
The winning numbers were 17, 29, 31, 52 and 53, and the Powerball was 31. A lump sum payout would be $221m (£145m).
Thirteen other tickets worth $1m each matched all but the final Powerball number and were sold in 11 other states.
These were Arizona, Florida (two), Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania (two), South Carolina and Virginia.
The New Jersey Lottery said details about the winning ticket would be released on Monday.
No one had won the Powerball jackpot since early February, when Dave Honeywell in Virginia bought the winning ticket for the $217m (£142m) jackpot.
The largest Powerball jackpot ever came in at $587.5m (£385.7m) in November.
The winning numbers were picked on two different tickets - one by a couple in Missouri and the other by an Arizona man - and the jackpot was split.
Nebraska still holds the record for the largest Powerball jackpot won on a single ticket - $365m (£239m). That jackpot was won by eight workers at a meatpacking plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, in February 2006.
Powerball is played in 42 states, Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands. The chance of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is about 1 in 175 million.
Jackpot winners have the option of receiving their prize in cash (in two instalments; one from the winning region, then the combined funds from the other 43 members) or as a graduated annuity paid in 30 yearly instalments.
Each annuity payment is 4% higher than in the previous year to adjust for inflation.
The advertised estimated jackpot represents the total payments that would be paid to a jackpot winner should they accept the 30-instalment option.
