A very, very lucky Michigan Lottery player just became the latest multimillionaire.
Someone in Michigan bought the winning Powerball ticket for Monday night's drawing worth $842 million. The jackpot has a cash value of $425.2 million.
The lucky player's winning ticket matched all of the numbers drawn Monday night (12-21-42-44-49) and the Powerball: 01. The winning ticket was purchased at the Food Castle of Grand Blanc, 3035 East Grand Blanc Road in Grand Blanc . The Michigan Lottery will not learn the identity of the winner until that person contacts the lottery.
Monday's drawing was the 35th drawing since the jackpot was last won on October 11, 2023. A ticket purchased in California won the $1.76 billion jackpot.
Monday's jackpot of $842.4 million is the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot ever won and the 10th-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
The jackpot is also the second largest lottery jackpot ever won in Michigan. The $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot won in January 2021 holds the record for the largest jackpot won in Michigan. The last player from Michigan to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis of Waterford. Davis won the game's $70 million jackpot on February 12, 2020.
The lucky jackpot winner should contact the Lottery's Player Relations Department at 517-373-1237 to schedule an appointment to claim their prize.
