The winning ticket for one of the largest Powerball jackpots in the game’s history was bought in Michigan on Monday, lottery officials said.
The ticket, worth $842.4 million — or $425.2 million in cash — was purchased at the Food Castle in Grand Blanc, just south of Flint, the Michigan Lottery said.
The winning numbers were 12-21-42-44-49 — and the Powerball was 01.
Monday’s jackpot was the fifth-largest ever won in the multi-jurisdictional, government-run lottery, which started in 1992.
It was the game’s 35th drawing since October, when a winning ticket worth $1.7 billion was bought in California, the lottery said.
The game’s record-setting ticket of $2.04 billion was sold in 2023 at a Southern California gas station.
The lottery urged Monday’s winner to come forward and claim their prize.
