A Powerball player in Arkansas won a whopping $1.817bn (£1.34bn) jackpot in a Christmas Eve drawing, making it the second-largest lottery prize ever claimed.
The single winning ticket matched all six numbers - 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 and red Powerball 19 - giving the winner the option of taking a lump-sum cash payment of $834.9m.
This marks only the second time a Powerball jackpot has been won by a ticket sold in Arkansas, according to the lottery operator. Powerball did not identify the winner.
The largest single-ticket prize remains the $2.04bn jackpot won in 2022 by a player in Altadena, California.
In order to win the jackpot, a lottery ticket holder must match all five white balls and the red Powerball selected during a drawing.
