The players in Missouri and Texas won the Jackpot Powerball of almost $ 1.8 billion on Saturday night, the second largest prize in the history of the United States lottery, after more than three months without a great winner.
Two fate tickets, one sold in Missouri, the other in Texas, coincided with the six numbers in the Saturday draw, according to Powerball.
The winning numbers in the draw on Saturday night were: 11, 23, 44, 61 and 62 with Powerball 17.
Winning tickets, which will share the Jackpot, can choose between a global sum payment of $ 410.3 million or $ 893.5 million distributed for 30 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.

Saturday’s draw was 42 since the Powerball Mayor Award won for the last time on May 31 in California. The current streak has tied the game record for the most consecutive drawings without a major prize winner.
With the final sale of tickets, the Jackpot Powerball reached $ 1,787 billion, the organization said, which is the second largest in the history of the game.
The chances of winning the Jackpot were 1 in 292.2 million, while the general chances of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9.
