While it was fun and somewhat expensive while it lasted, someone has finally managed to win the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot.
According to the California Lottery, the winning ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena in Los Angeles County.
The announcement came hours after an unprecedented delay left players waiting for the numbers to be announced Tuesday morning.
But remember, just because you didn’t win it all doesn’t mean you should toss your ticket! During a previous drawing, one participant won $1 million after buying a ticket in Boxborough, while several other players collected $50,000.
According to Powerball.com, there is at least one more player who bought a $1 million ticket in Mass. for this past drawing, which was sold at the West Squantum Market & Liquors shop in Quincy, per Mass Lottery.
MassLottery also said nine tickets purchased in Mass. won $50,000, all bought at the following locations:
- Cumberland Farms, 1128 Oakhill Ave., Attleborough
- Thistle & Shamrock, 62 Walden St., Cambridge
- New Mart Variety, 69 Sterling St., Clinton
- Speedway, 91 Faunce Corner Mall Rd., North Dartmouth
- Speedway, 373 Bridge St., Dedham
- Nobscot’s Cafe, 847 Edgell Rd., Framingham
- Stop & Shop, 3900 Falmouth Rd., Marstons Mills
- Main Street Variety, 335 Main St., Medford
- Cumberland Farms, 105 Post Office Park, Wilbraham
Regardless, plans of buying a private island or sports team for many have been put on hold.
