		</div><p>Someone in Washington state overcame steep odds on Monday night to win more than a massive Powerball lottery jackpot.</p>
<p>The winning numbers were 05, 11, 22, 23, 69 and the Powerball 07.</p>
<p>Lottery officials said in a statement early on Tuesday that a single ticket matched all six numbers and was worth 754.6 US dollars million (£621 million).</p>
<p>The full jackpot is for a winner opting for an annuity distributed in one immediate but partial payout followed by additional payments over 29 years that increase by 5% annually. The winner also can opt for a one-time cash payment of 407.2 US dollars million (£338 million).</p>
<p>Both prizes available are the amounts before taxes, Powerball said.</p>
<p>The lottery game’s website shows the jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday has dropped to 20 million US dollars (£16.6 million).</p>
<p>Monday night’s win was the first Powerball jackpot win since November 19 2022.</p>
<p>That winless streak allowed the prize to grow larger and larger until it stood as the ninth-largest in US history.</p>
<p>Higher interest rates have allowed annuity payments to increase compared with earlier jackpots, when rates were lower. Most winners prefer the immediate cash prize.</p>
<p>The game’s abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to build big prizes drawing more players. That strategy certainly has worked recently, as someone in Maine won a 1.35 billion US dollars (£11.2 billion) Mega Millions prize in January and a California player hit a record 2.04 billion US dollars (£1.7 billion) Powerball jackpot last November. No one has claimed either of those prizes.</p>
<p>Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.</p>
