Powerball Numbers A Winning 2 Billion Jackpot Ticket Sold In California

That lucky ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, California, lottery officials confirmed Tuesday. The winner matched all six numbers drawn in the late draw on Monday 7 November – white balls 10, 33, 41, 47, 56 and red Powerball 10. The Power Play multiplier was 2X. Due to a technical issue, the Powerball drawing was delayed Monday night and took place at 8:57 am. EST on Tuesday at the Florida Lottery lottery studio in Tallahassee. The win comes in the 41st jackpot draw. The final ticket sales pushed the jackpot past its previous estimate of $2.04 billion at the time of the drawing, making it the largest lottery prize in the world. The winner will have a choice between an annual prize of $2.04 billion or a one-time payment of $997.6 million. Both prize options are pre-tax. If the winner chooses the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year. As for the cause of the delay, Minnesota Lottery officials claimed responsibility. Minnesota’s sales verification system caused a delay in processing, they said. “The delay was necessary to confirm that the Powerball drawing could be conducted safely and accurately. At no time was the integrity of the process compromised,” according to a statement released by the Minnesota Lottery. You can watch the Powerball drawing at 11pm every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at abc7ny.com/lottery and on our 24/7 streaming channel.
