One ticket each with all six numbers in Saturday evening’s Powerball drawing was sold in Missouri and Texas and the players have the option of receiving an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment of $410.3 million.
Both prize options are before taxes. If a winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
The jackpot was $1.787 billion, the second-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, only behind the $2.04 billion jackpot for the Nov. 7, 2022 Powerball drawing with the winning ticket sold at gas station in Pasadena.
The drawing was the first with a ticket sold with all six numbers since May 31, when a ticket worth $207 million was sold at a convenience store in Arleta.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and the Powerball number was 17.
There were 18 tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, including two in California, one each in Tehachapi and Dublin. They are both worth $1,564,348, according to the California Lottery.
Powerball tickets five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, but payout amounts in California are on a pari-mutuel basis under state law and determined by sales and the number of winners.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.
The jackpot for Monday’s drawing will be $20 million.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
