It was the fifth largest Powerball jackpot and the 10th largest U.S. jackpot ever (see lists below).
Originally estimated at $810 million, the jackpot rose based on actual sales.
In addition to the jackpot winner, two tickets sold in Florida and Texas matched all five white balls and had the Power Play to win $2 million. Three tickets sold in Connecticut, Florida and Maryland won $1 million and a California ticket won $1,230,788 (California non-jackpot prizes are based on sales in the state.)
“What an incredible beginning to the New Year for Powerball!” said Drew Svitko, Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director. “In addition to our big jackpot winner, there are hundreds of good causes supported by U.S. lotteries that will receive further funding from this jackpot run. Thank you to our players for making this possible! Happy New Year!”
The jackpot had last been won on Oct. 11 when a lottery player in California won the $1.765 billion jackpot.
The Powerball jackpot will now reset to $20 million for the next drawing.

Lump sum or annuity?
The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year.
The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but it is paid in a lump sum. You don’t have to wait decades for all the money.
Can I win jackpot and remain anonymous?
In some states, like New Jersey, you can win a lottery anonymously. That wasn’t always the case, but now winners are able to stay anonymous under a law that was signed by Gov. Phil Murphy.
In other states, a winner’s name and hometown are a matter of public record. Check with your state lottery for more information.
