Powerball winning numbers announced

The winning numbers for the Feb. 13 Powerball lottery drawing are 12, 23, 25, 27, 43 and Powerball 29, lottery officials announced Thursday.

No one bought a winning ticket for the $50 million jackpot.

Powerball drawings are held each Wednesday and Saturday nights at about 10:59 p.m. ET.

"Players win by matching one of the 9 Ways to Win," according to lottery rules. "The jackpot (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball) is either an annuitized prize paid out over 29 years (30 payments) or a lump sum payment. Each ticket costs $2. If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payment will be increased each year by the percentage set out in the Powerball game rules.

"The second prize (won by matching five white balls in any order) is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time you match the red Powerball, you win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32."
