Winner (or winners) to be announced this afternoon.
 

The largest-ever New Mexico Lottery payout -- except for three earlier multimillion-dollar Powerball jackpots -- will be announced at a news conference at 3 p.m. today at New Mexico Lottery Headquarters in Albuquerque, according to the New Mexico Lottery Authority.

Saturday night's record Powerball jackpot of $365 million was won by a ticket-holder in Nebraska.

But someone in New Mexico had a ticket matching all five white numbers but lacking the red Powerball in Saturday's drawing -- good for a $200,000 second prize. But New Mexico's second-prize winner will also share in the $19.6 million Match 5 bonus pool, bringing an additional $467,142 in prize money, said Lance Ross, state lottery spokesman.

It was the first time a ticket from New Mexico has shared in the second-prize bonus pool, lottery officials earlier told The Associated Press.
