Missouri Powerball ticket wins half of historic billion-dollar jackpot
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Powerball ticket sold in Missouri matched all six numbers in Saturday's drawing, winning half of the $1.787 billion jackpot—the second-largest in U.S. lottery history.
The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17.
The ticket holder from Missouri will share the historic prize with another winner from Texas.
Where the ticket was sold has not been revealed, but will be announced within 72 hours, a Sunday morning press release from the Missouri Lottery says.
This marks the 32nd Powerball jackpot win for Missouri, according to Executive Director Lester Elder.
“We encourage this winner to take their time and get proper legal and financial advice before coming to our Jefferson City headquarters to claim their prize,” Elder said in the release. “If you’re holding this winning ticket, be sure to visit the If You Win a Jackpot section at MOLottery.com for next steps.”
Three other Missouri players won $50,000 each by matching four white-ball numbers and the Powerball.
Winners have until March 5, 2026 to claim their prizes.
