It is the 10th-largest jackpot won in US lottery history and the second-largest lottery jackpot ever won in Michigan.
A mystery person in the US won a whopping $842.4 million Powerball jackpot on the first day of 2024. According to NBC News, lottery officials announced that a single ticket matched all six numbers drawn on January 1, winning the $842.4 million prize, which is the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot of all time. However, the person has yet to reach out to the lottery to claim the prize.
Michigan Lottery spokesman Jake Harris said that's not unusual. "In most cases, folks will wait a little bit to wrap their mind around what has just happened to them, and then they'll give us a call when they are ready for us to walk them through the claim process," he said. Winners have a year to claim their winnings.
As per ABC News, the lucky winner bought the ticket at the Food Castle in Grand Blanc, Michigan, located just outside Flint, the Lottery said.
