Two winning Powerball tickets sold in Missouri and Texas

ST. LOUIS - Two winning Powerball tickets were sold after months of rollovers, with one ticket sold in Missouri and the other in Texas.

The jackpot reached nearly $1.8 billion, making it the second largest U.S. lottery prize ever. Each winner now faces a decision: take a lump sum payment of $410 million or an annuity payout of $893 million over 30 years.

The winning numbers for the draw were 11, 23, 44, 61, and 62, with 17 as the Powerball. Nearly 10 million other tickets also won cash prizes, including two $1 million winners in Illinois.

Officials have not yet disclosed the specific location in Missouri where the winning ticket was sold. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot resets to its starting point of $20 million, with a cash value of $9.2 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Monday night.
