After a delay, the Powerball numbers for the record-breaking $1.9 billion prize were revealed.
After a delay of 00:46, the Powerball numbers for the world-record $1.9 billion jackpot were announced.
After a protracted delay, Powerball unveiled on Tuesday morning the winning numbers for the anticipated record-breaking prize. The winning numbers for the $2.04 billion jackpot are 10, 33, 41, 47, and 56, as well as the Powerball number 10.
According to authorities from the California lottery, the results of the drawing were still waiting after the numbers were disclosed.
Winners have the choice of receiving the grand prize as a 29-year annuity or as a lump sum payment. The probability of winning everything is 1 in 292,2 million.
The most recent figures were scheduled to be released on Monday evening, but the announcement was postponed until Tuesday morning. Powerball officials stated in a statement that the drawing was delayed because an unnamed lottery was unable to “process its sales and play data.”
Since August 3, the jackpot has eluded players. Prior to Saturday’s drawing, which featured a jackpot of $1.65 billion, it surpassed the previous world record jackpot of $1.586 billion.
Due to the lack of a winner over the weekend, the jackpot grew to an estimated $1.9 billion by Monday evening. Tuesday, officials announced that the big reward for the most recent drawing was $2.04 billion.
