A nearly $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot finally found winners during Saturday night’s draw, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.

The jackpot was claimed by winners from Texas and Missouri, leading to the $1.787 billion prize being shared between them, according to a statement from the association on Saturday.

The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17, it said.

The winners have two options for receiving their share of the jackpot: they can opt for an annuitized prize totaling $893.5 million spread over 30 payments across 29 years or a one-time cash payout of $410.3 million.

ditional details, including the identities of the winners and where the tickets were sold, have not been released.

Tickets worth $2 million each, matching five numbers plus the Powerball number, were bought in Texas and Kansas, as noted by the association.

The lack of winners since May 31 led to the jackpot increasing to become the second-largest in Powerball history before the Saturday drawing, according to lottery officials.

The only jackpot worth more was the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in California on Nov. 7, 2022, they said.
