Overview
- The Dec. 24 drawing produced numbers 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 with Powerball 19, ending a 46-draw rollover.
- The payout is the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history, behind the $2.04 billion Powerball won in 2022.
- Powerball officials said last-minute sales lifted the advertised total higher than expected before the drawing.
- The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 292.2 million in the $2 multi-state game offered in 45 states plus D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- The ticket holder has not been publicly identified, and taxes will significantly reduce the eventual take-home amount.
