Powerball Jackpot of Nearly $1.8 Billion Split Between Texas and Missouri Winners

Two winning tickets sold in Texas and Missouri will share the $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot from Saturday's drawing, marking the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history. The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the red Powerball number 17.

Each winner can choose between an annuitized prize of $893.5 million, paid over 29 years in 30 payments, or a lump-sum payment of approximately $410.3 million, both before taxes. The identities of the winners have not been released.

This jackpot ended a streak of 42 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner since May 31. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The largest Powerball jackpot on record remains the $2.04 billion prize won in California on November 7, 2022.
