Do you have the lucky ticket? The winning Powerball numbers are 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 with a Powerball number of 11.
Four out of every five possible combinations of numbers were already in play, as the jackpot of the multi-state lottery game surged to an estimated $600 million ahead of Saturday's drawing -- the second-largest pot in U.S. lottery history.
The drawing in the 43-state game took place at 10:59 p.m. ET, but results were still pending Saturday.
The chances of winning the big prize are low -- 1 in 175.2 million -- but it didn't stop hopeful Americans across the country from purchasing about 80 percent of all possible combinations, according to lottery officials.
The estimated jackpot surpassed Powerball's previous record set in November 2012, when the jackpot jumped to $587.5 million before two winners split the prize.
The largest jackpot ever claimed was a $656 million Mega Millions prize split three ways in March. 
The estimated cash value of Saturday's drawing, should a winner choose to be paid in one lump sum, now stands at $376.9 million -- before taxes, of course.
Saturday night, someone who felt lucky may turn out to be the luckiest person in the world as they pick the numbers for the Powerball jackpot, now at $600 million. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
