Two gamblers of Powerball in Missouri and Texas won a combined prize of about $ 1.8 billion, the second largest in the history of the lottery in the United States, said the game website on Sunday.
The winning figures designed on Saturday were the White Balls 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and the Red Powerball 17.
The prize will be divided between the two gamblers, whose identities have not been disclosed. Each winner can choose between cash payment of $ 893.5 million, divided into installments in 30 years or a single amount of $ 410.3 million.
The fee for a single amount offers a unique and reduced payment before the tax deduction.
Saturday’s draw was 42 ° since the last prize accumulated on May 31, a new record for the longest sequence in the story of Powerball. The probability of winning the main prize is 1 out of 292.2 million and the lottery is designed three times a week.
The $ 1.787 billion prize is just below the $ 2.04 billion jackpot record for a single California ticket in November 2022.
Tickets for Powerball, which cost $ 2, are sold in 45 states, in the Columbia district, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands.
