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, it said, resulting in a two-way split of a $1.787 billion jackpot said to have a cash value of $820.6 million, the association said in a statement late Saturday.
The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17, it 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.
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.
Winners with tickets worth $1 million were legion and included two in California, one in Colorado, one in Florida, two in Illinois, one in Kansas, one in Massachusetts, one in Michigan, one in New Jersey, two in New York, two in Ohio, one in Oregon, two in Texas, and one in West Virginia, according to the lottery.
