Dozens Win Powerball Prizes Across Multiple US States

The recent historic $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. history, was won by two tickets sold in Texas and Missouri, while no jackpot winners emerged from several other states. In Arizona, three players won $100,000 each, and multiple others won $50,000, with a Fantasy 5 jackpot winner taking home $199,000. Colorado saw seven winners claiming prizes ranging from $50,000 to over $1 million, including a notable $1 million win by a Colorado Springs resident. Illinois players collectively won over $2.5 million, with two $1 million winners and multiple others winning $50,000 and $100,000 prizes. California had two tickets worth over $1.56 million each and over a thousand smaller prize winners, with the state lottery highlighting the benefits giant jackpots bring to public education funding. Despite the jackpot being claimed out-of-state, these smaller wins across multiple states underscore the continued excitement and economic impact of the Powerball lottery.
