A Powerball player in California holds the only winning ticket sold for the $2.04 billion jackpot, Reuters reports.
The ticket holder, whose identity was not disclosed, has a choice of taking a lump sum of $997.6 million cash or receiving the full amount in 29 annual payments.
The odds of matching all six numbers in the drawing – 10, 33, 41, 47, 56 and 10 – were 1 in 292.2 million.
The $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot ranks as a world record for a lottery top prize, according to multiple media reports.
