Powerball is twice as nice!
A lucky Powerball player in Missouri and Texas won an estimated $1.79 billion jackpot Saturday night, the second-largest prize in game history, ending a historic run that spanned over three months.
The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62 and the red Powerball 17.
Lottery officials announced that two players, one from Texas and another from Missouri, each won the jackpot when those life-changing numbers were pulled.
Winners in Texas and Missouri are allowed to remain anonymous according to state laws.
