Texas and Missouri Tickets Split $1.787 Billion Powerball Jackpot

The win ends a record 42-drawing run without a jackpot dating back to May 31.

Overview

  • Powerball officials said two tickets matched all six numbers—11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and Powerball 17—to claim the game's second-largest prize.
  • Each winner may choose an annuity of about $893.5 million or a lump sum of about $410.3 million before taxes.
  • Saturday’s result resets the jackpot to $20 million for the next drawing scheduled for Monday.
  • The drawing also produced 18 $1 million winners and two $2 million Power Play winners across multiple states.
  • Jackpot odds are 1 in 292.2 million, and lump-sum payouts face 24% federal withholding plus potential additional federal and state taxes.
