A Powerball player in California has the single winning ticket for the $2.04 billion jackpot, ending a stretch of 40 draws that produced no winners and pushed the top reward into record territory. The ticket holder, whose name has not been revealed, can collect a cash lump sum of $997.6 million or get the whole amount in 29 annual payments. Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, California, about five miles (8 kilometers) north of Pasedena in Los Angeles County, sold the ticket. Matching all six numbers in the drawing – 10, 33, 41, 47, 56, and 10 – had a chance of 1 in 292.2 million. The previous Powerball jackpot record was reached in 2016, when three ticket buyers from California, Florida, and Tennessee split a $1.59 billion jackpot.
