Texas Trust Claims Half of $1.8 Billion Powerball Jackpot

A Fredericksburg trust took the $410.3 million cash option, setting a Texas Lottery payout record.

Overview

  • Seven Bridges Revocable Trust of Fredericksburg claimed the Texas share on Oct. 13, preserving the winner's anonymity.
  • The lump-sum payment totals $410,324,470.28 before taxes, the largest prize paid to a single Texas Lottery player.
  • The Sept. 6 jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. history, ended a record 42-draw run without a winner and was split with a Missouri ticket.
