Just hours after the Powerball numbers were revealed, the California Lottery has announced that a winner was identified.

In a tweeted statement, the organization stated that the winning ticket was "sold at Joe's Service Center in Altadena."

The California Lottery added that "the final jackpot amount for this draw came to $2.04 billion dollars," which means that it has created its "FIRST EVER Billionaire!"

The organization went on to say, "We are so excited and we just can't hide it. Not only did California have the BIG #Powerball winner, three more tickets matched 5 numbers missing just the Powerball in Gardena, Beaumont, and San Francisco.

Congratulations to all our players!" The big news comes after a day of confusion for the Powerball lottery, after the drawing has to be postponed.
