Someone in Arkansas won the $1.817 billion Powerball Jackpot on Christmas Eve – the second-largest lottery jackpot ever won in America.
The winner matched all six numbers drawn: 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 and Powerball 19, according to the Powerball Draw results.
If the winner takes the cash option instead of annual payments, the lump cash sum’s value is estimated at $834.9 million.
“Congratulations to the newest Powerball jackpot winner! This is truly an extraordinary, life-changing prize,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. “We also want to thank all the players who joined in this jackpot streak – every ticket purchased helps support public programs and services across the country.”
