The winning numbers for Saturday nights estimated $1.8 billion jackpot — the second largest in Powerball history — were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17.
Two jackpot-winning tickets, worth a staggering $1.8 billion, were sold in Texas and Missouri, splitting the record-setting prize.
But Kansans are cashing in too. According to the Kansas Lottery, tickets sold in the Sunflower State matched enough numbers to claim $2 million and $1 million prizes. The $2 million win came from a ticket with the Power Play option, which doubles the standard $1 million prize for matching all five white balls.
Officials urge players to check their tickets carefully. All winning tickets must be claimed within 365 days from the drawing date.
With the Powerball craze sweeping the nation, Kansas joins in the excitement as local winners walk away with life-changing prizes — and the dream of hitting the jackpot remains alive for many others.
Winners should contact the Kansas Lottery for prize-claiming details.
