Missouri Powerball Winner Claims Share of $1.78 Billion Jackpot

The claimant chose a $410.3 million lump-sum, the largest prize in Missouri Lottery history.

Overview

  • The winner formally claimed the prize at Missouri Lottery headquarters in Jefferson City after the Sept. 6 drawing.
  • He selected the $410.3 million cash option before taxes instead of the $893.5 million annuity paid over 30 years.
  • The winning ticket was bought at a QuikTrip at 12110 Lusher Road in north St. Louis County, which earned a $50,000 retailer bonus.
  • Identifying himself as a homebody, he said he plans to take time off and spend more time with his wife.
  • The other winning ticket was sold in Fredericksburg, Texas, and the ticket holder was not identified in these reports.
