This morning, excitement fills the air following a monumental Powerball drawing that has resulted in not one, but two jackpot winners. Players in Missouri and Texas have struck it rich with nearly $1.8 billion on the line, marking this as the second-largest prize in U.S. lottery history.
The winning numbers from Saturday night’s drawing were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the Powerball was 17. Players across the country are urged to check their tickets, as there are notable winnings extending beyond the jackpot.
In Massachusetts, a ticket sold at a 7-Eleven in Natick will deliver a $1 million payout, despite the state not recording any jackpot winners. Other players in Massachusetts also scored significant amounts, including two tickets that netted $100,000 each, sold in Worcester and North Andover. Additionally, four tickets sold in Woburn, Feeding Hills, Webster, and Stoughton won $50,000 each.
Moreover, two lucky tickets sold in Kansas and Texas earned a $2 million prize, while 18 tickets from 13 states managed to win $1 million.
With final ticket sales tallying up to $1.787 billion, this jackpot’s total comes notably close to the world-record of $2.04 billion, which was won in California back on November 7, 2022. This recent drawing represents the 42nd attempt since the jackpot last saw a winner on May 31, 2025, establishing a new record for the longest run without a jackpot winner in the game’s history.
As players celebrate their fortunes, lottery officials remind everyone to keep their tickets safe and check the results, as many are sharing in this momentous occasion across the nation.
