A single Powerball ticket sold in Arkansas won a $1.817 billion jackpot on Christmas Eve, marking the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history. The winning numbers were 4, 25, 31, 52, 59, and Powerball 19, with a 2x multiplier. This historic win concluded a record 47-draw streak without a jackpot winner. The winner, whose identity remains undisclosed, can choose between the annuity or a lump-sum cash payment of approximately $834.9 million before taxes. This is the second Powerball jackpot won in Arkansas.
