On Wednesday night, America’s lottery players competed for the fifth 10-digit jackpot in U.S. history — a Powerball drawing worth $1.2 billion.
The winning numbers were 2-11-22-35-60, with the Powerball being 23.
The $1.2 billion prize, if won, would be the fourth-largest in U.S. lottery history and comes slightly over three months since the third-biggest — a $1.337 billion ticket sold in the July 29 Mega Millions contest.
If taken in a single lump sum of cash, as most recent big lottery winners have chosen to do, Wednesday’s $1.2 billion Powerball prize would be worth $596.
