US lottery players to split nearly $2.7 billion jackpot
Powerball players in Missouri and Texas have overcome the astronomical rates to end the three -month drought of the lottery without a major winner and won about $ 1.8 billion ($ 2.7 billion).
The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61 and 62, and the powerball number was 17.
According to the Texas Lottery, the winning ticket in Texas was sold at a gas station-Conveniennce store in Fredericksburg.
The second largest lottery bonus in history, the $ 1,787 billion award, watched 41 consecutive drawings, where no one matches all six numbers.
The last drawing with the Jackpot winner took place on May 31st.
Powerball’s terrible proportions in 292.2 million are designed to produce large bonuses, and the prizes are growing when no one wins.
Lottery officials say that the rates are much better for many smaller awards of the game.
There are three drawings every week.
Each ticket holder will have an unpaid reward of US $ 893.5 million or a collective payment of USD $ 410.3 million.
Both prize options are before the taxes. If a winner selects the annual income option, they receive an emergency payment and then receive 29 years of payment of five percent each year.
Powerball tickets are available on $ 2 and the game on 45 state plus Washington, DC, Porto Riko and USA Virgin Islands.
