KSL News • • business
Key Points:
- A Powerball ticket sold at a Hy-Vee gas station in Quincy, Illinois, won the sole $1 billion jackpot, ending a three-month period without a top-prize winner.
- The winning numbers were 4-26-66-67-69 with a Powerball of 9, and the winner can choose between a $1 billion annuity over 29 years or a $450.5 million lump sum.
- It was the first Powerball jackpot win since May 2 and the eighth-largest jackpot in Powerball history, with odds of winning at 1 in 292 million.
- Four tickets in other states matched five numbers but missed the Powerball, winning $1 million each, while a Massachusetts ticket won $2 million due to a "Power Play" multiplier.
- The Powerball jackpot resets to $20 million for the next drawing, and the record jackpot remains over $2 billion from a 2022 California win.
