A yet-to-be identified American won an estimated $570 million jackpot in Saturday’s Powerball lottery draw in the United States...
According to lottery officials, the ticket which was bought in New Hampshire matched all six numbers all the six numbers drawn, to win the fifth largest grand prize in the game’s 15-year history.
The winning numbers drawn were 12, 29, 30, 33, 61 and Powerball 26.
The identity of the winner or winners was not immediately released.
If the winner selects the lump-sum option, the onetime payout would total an estimated $358 million, before taxes.
The odds of a single ticket hitting all six numbers in the Powerball are 292 million to 1, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
Saturday’s winning Powerball ticket is the second large lottery grand prize drawn in as many days.
On Friday, one winning Mega Millions ticket, worth an estimated $450 million, was sold in Florida. That lump-sum payout is $281 million.
With no jackpot winning tickets sold in either game since October, combined the two lottery grand prizes topped $1 billion, the third-largest total in the history of the games.
The largest Powerball jackpot was a $1.6-billion payout split among winners in California, Florida and Tennessee in January 2016, according to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries. The largest Mega Millions jackpot of $656 million was won in 2012.
