$1.817 billion Christmas Eve jackpot won by single ticket

Santa had a whopping Christmas present in his sled on Christmas Eve.

Axar.az informs, citing CBS news, a single winning ticket was sold for Powerball's jackpot of $1.817 billion — in Arkansas. It was the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won.

The winning numbers for Wednesday night's drawing were 4, 25, 31, 52, 59, with a Powerball of 19. The grand prize had a lump sum cash value of $834.9 million.

The Powerball jackpot had been won once on Christmas Eve, in 2011, and four times on Christmas Day, the game says. Powerball started in 1992.

The last time a Powerball jackpot was hit was on Sept. 6 in Missouri and Texas, when two tickets split a $1.787 billion top prize.
