A nearly $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot finally found winners during Saturday night’s draw, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.

The jackpot winners hailed from Texas and Missouri, resulting in a two-way split of a $1.787 billion jackpot, the association said in a statement late Saturday.

The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17, it said.

Winners will be able to chose one of two ways to claim their half of the jackpot: an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump-sum payment of $410.3 million. The annuitized prize would come in 30 payments over a 29-year span.

The winning ticket in Texas was sold at a gas station convenience store in Fredericksburg, according to the Texas Lottery. Fredericksburg is located in the Texas Hill Country, about 35 miles northeast of Kerrville, the small city that was hit especially hard during devastating flooding that killed more than 100 people statewide in July.

It was unclear where the winning ticket in Missouri was sold, and the identities of the winners have not been released.

Winning tickets with a face value of $2 million each, which matched five numbers as well as the Powerball number, were purchased in Texas and Kansas, the association said.

The jackpot grew as a result of no winners since May 31. Saturday’s drawing was for the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history, lottery officials said.

The only jackpot worth more was the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in California on Nov. 7, 2022, they said.
