A lottery player in Arkansas has won the $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, the second-largest prize in US history. The winning numbers were drawn on Christmas Eve, with the jackpot having rolled over for 46 consecutive draws. The winner can choose between an annuity paid over 30 years or a lump sum of $834.9 million. This prize significantly exceeds the maximum winnings available in lotteries like Germany's Eurojackpot, which caps at 120 million.
