Winning tickets sold in two states for massive Powerball jackpot of nearly $1.8 billion.

 Winning tickets for Saturday’s nearly $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot were sold in Missouri and Texas, the lottery said.


“With final ticket sales, the Powerball jackpot came in at $1.787 billion – making it the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won,” the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the Powerball game, said in a news release.


Each winning ticket holder can choose either an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment of $410.3 million – both before taxes.

The winning ticket in Texas was sold at a Big’s convenience store location in Fredericksburg – about 70 miles northwest.
