Missouri and Texas Tickets Share $1.787 Billion Powerball Jackpot

Two Powerball tickets sold in Missouri and Texas have matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing, resulting in a shared jackpot of $1.787 billion—the second-largest in the game's history.

The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the Powerball 17. Each ticket holder can choose between an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment of $410.3 million, both before taxes.

The Missouri Lottery has announced that the location where the winning ticket was sold will be revealed within 72 hours of the drawing. Missouri law grants anonymity to lottery winners, prohibiting the publication of their names, addresses, or other identifying information.

This marks the 32nd Powerball jackpot win for Missouri. Missouri Lottery Executive Director Lester Elder advised the winner to seek legal and financial advice before claiming the prize.

The Texas Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticket in their state was sold at a gas station-convenience store in Fredericksburg.

This drawing ended a streak of 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, setting a new record for the longest run in the game's history.
