Wednesday's Powerball jackpot — the second-largest in US history — had a single winner. The winning ticket was sold in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
A single lottery ticket worth $758.7 million has won the largest lottery prize in US history.
Wednesday's Powerball jackpot — the second largest in US history — had a single winner, according to the Powerball website. The total haul is the largest lottery win ever, since the record largest jackpot of $1.6 billion Powerball was split between three winners.
The winning ticket was sold at the Pride Station and Store in Chicopee, Massachusetts, though the winner hasn't yet been identified.
The winning numbers were 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 and the Powerball number was 4.
According to the AP, six tickets sold are worth $2 million each, 34 tickets won $1 million prizes.
The winner has a choice to claim the winnings as a lump sum or an annuity. The annuity is a series of 30 annual payments, which increase by 5% each year. The lump sum is worth less than the face value of the prize.
