One ticket purchased in the state of New Hampshire won Saturday night’s Powerball drawing, worth an estimated $478 million ($330.6 million cash value).
The prize is the fifth-largest Powetball prize and the eighth biggest in US lottery history.
The jackpot was $487 million that could be paid out as an annuity over 29 years, or the victor could choose the approximately $300 million lump sum option. Powerball estimates that its jackpot for the May 4, 2016, drawing is $348 million.
There were at least 15 second-prize tickets sold across the country including two in Pennsylvania, but none in New Jersey.
The single ticket from the latest drawing is worth the winner’s choice of $487 million spread over 30 years or $341.7 million in a lump-sum payment, before federal taxes.
Before Saturday, no one had bought a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket since May 7.
Tickets are sold in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of a $2 ticket hitting the jackpot are more than 292 million to 1.
