NATIONAL — A person in Arkansas is having the best Christmas ever.
That’s because they won the $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot on Christmas Eve.
The last time a winner
This not only ended the lotteries’ three-month period without a winner, but it’s also the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The last winner was on Sept. 6, with two winners in Missouri and Texas.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Murphy USA in Cabot, just outside of Little Rock, Arkansas.
The winning numbers were 04, 25, 31, 52 and 59, and number 19 as the Powerball.
The last time a person won a Powerball jackpot on Christmas Eve was in 2011.
