Share and Follow


Nearly 10 million tickets won some kind of prize, according to Powerball officials, ranging from $4 up to the grand prize of nearly $2 billion.

WASHINGTON — After more than three months, one of the biggest lottery prizes in history has been won, with a pair of tickets in Missouri and Texas splitting a $1.787 billion prize. 

Although only two tickets won the jackpot, 20 additional tickets won at least $1 million. More than 300 tickets were sold that won prizes of $50,000 or more. In total, nearly 10 million tickets won some kind of prize, according to Powerball officials. 

Two jackpot tickets

Two tickets, one in Missouri and the other in Texas, have won the second-largest prize in Powerball history, and will split the $1.787 billion prize. 

But we may never know who those tickets belong to. 

They were bought in two of the states that grant anonymity to lottery winners, meaning it’s likely the winners won’t reveal their names. 

Missouri allows any lottery winner to stay anonymous, while Texas allows winners to stay anonymous if they win over $1 million. 

The winning ticket in Texas was sold at a gas station-convenience store in Fredericksburg, according to the Texas Lottery.

It’s unclear where the Missouri ticket was sold. 

Million-dollar prizes

Million-dollar tickets were sold in California (2), Colorado, Florida, Illinois (2), Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York (2), Ohio (2), Oregon, Texas (2) and West Virginia. 

Additionally, a pair of tickets sold in Kansas and Texas each bought the more expensive Power Play option, doubling their earnings to $2 million. 

Payouts for nearly 10 million people

Powerball stats for Saturday’s drawing show 232 tickets had four of the white ball numbers correct along with the red ball, earning their owners $50,000 each. 

Additionally, 90 tickets had the same four numbers and the red ball, but selected the pricier Power Play option, doubling their winnings to $100,000.

Statistics for the latest drawing show 9,982,264 tickets were winners in some way. 

There have been 42 drawings without a big winner since May.

This lottery streak has produced “101 winning tickets worth $1 million or more, and more than a thousand winning tickets worth $50,000 or more,” Powerball said in a statement before Saturday’s drawing.

What are the odds of winning the Powerball?

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million. The odds of matching all five white balls and winning the $1 million prize are 1 in 11,688,053. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.87.

When is the Powerball drawing?

The Powerball drawing takes place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets, which cost $2 per play, are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
