Powerball $1.787 Billion Jackpot Split by Two Tickets as German Draws Yield New Millionaires

Winners face annuity versus lump-sum rules, with German claimants remaining anonymous until ticket validation.

Overview

  • Two winning tickets sold in Missouri and Texas will share the advertised $1.787 billion Powerball prize, with each entitled to either about $893.5 million over 30 years or a $410.3 million cash option before taxes.
  • Powerball’s run ended after 42 drawings without a jackpot hit, and officials reported 18 second-tier $1 million winners plus hundreds of additional five-figure prizes in the latest draw.
  • A Lotto 6aus49 player from the Warendorf district in North Rhine-Westphalia won €2,196,316.70 as the sole six-number match, with the jackpot itself rolling over.
  • A Berlin woman from Schöneberg who has played the same numbers since 1996 won €4.4 million, according to Lotto Berlin.
  • A Niederbayern participant won €2,554,784.50 in Eurojackpot’s second tier and must present a valid receipt to claim, as the top prize climbs to €86 million for the next draw.
