Anonymous US person wins S$1.33 billion Powerball lottery with S$2.55 Quick Pick
It was the second-largest lottery prize ever won in the U.S. state of Illinois.
A person in the United States won a S$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot, but only came forward to claim it after nearly a month. They were anonymous and initially unsure if they had won. The winner used a S$2.55 Quick Pick ticket, which matched all six numbers drawn on August 12: 4, 26, 66, 67, 69, and Powerball 9. The jackpot was the second-largest in Illinois history and the eighth-largest in Powerball history.
The winner chose to take the prize as a lump-sum payment rather than annual instalments and worked with financial advisors to handle the unexpected windfall.
