Early reports say one winning ticket for the largest lottery prize in United States history has been sold to someone in Southern California. The record jackpot is worth $2.04 billion. Lottery officials said the jackpot ticket was sold at a business called Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, a community northeast of Los Angeles. The latest drawing for the lottery winnings, known as the jackpot, was held Tuesday morning. That drawing had been delayed Monday night because of a sales processing problem. The lottery is called Powerball. It is played by people in 45 U.S. states, as well as Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot was estimated to be $1.9 billion on Monday. But the prize was increased to $2.04 billion on Tuesday morning. Tuesday’s drawing followed one on Saturday that was the 40th in a row without a winner of the big prize. The jackpot grows larger each time it goes unclaimed. A winning ticket must match all six numbers that are drawn. The numbers in the latest drawing were 10, 33, 41, 47, 56 and 10.
