Record-Setting $2.04 Billion Powerball Jackpot Winner Announced

The winner of the largest lottery prize ever was announced Tuesday morning. The winning ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center located in Altadena, Calif., per the California Lottery. 

According to the Powerball website, there was one sole winner of the Powerball grand prize with an estimated total of $2.04 billion and a cash value of $997.6 million. The winning numbers were: 10-33-41-47-56-Power 10.

CNN reported, “The jackpot was a record $1.9 billion but grew to $2.04 billion by the time of the drawing, the association said in a statement, “making it the world’s largest lottery prize” – just as its organizers intended when they changed the odds in 2015.”

And although you might not be the grand prize winner of Tuesday’s drawing, “lotteries are urging players to check their tickets on the chance you won one of the other – albeit smaller – prizes: Per the Multi-State Lottery Association, more than 11.2 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $98.1 million, including 22 tickets that won $1 million prizes for matching the five white numbers but not the Powerball,” according to CNN.
