A resident of Arkansas in the United States won $1.817 billion in the Powerball lottery, the second-largest win in U.S. lottery history. He correctly guessed all six winning numbers in the drawing held last Wednesday: 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 and the power number 19. U.S. officials reported that the winner can choose to receive the amount in 30 payments spread over 29 years, or alternatively receive an immediate lump sum of about $735 million before taxes.
