The lucky player’s winning ticket matched all of the numbers drawn Monday night – 12-21-42-44-49 – and the Powerball: 01. The winning ticket was bought at the Food Castle of Grand Blanc, located at 3035 East Grand Blanc Road in Grand Blanc. The Michigan Lottery won’t know the identity of the winner until that person contacts the Lottery.
Monday’s drawing was the 35th drawing since the jackpot was last won on Oct. 11, 2023. One ticket purchased in California won the $1.76 billion jackpot.
Monday’s $842.4 million jackpot is the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot ever won and the tenth-largest jackpot won in U.S. Lottery history.
The jackpot also is the second-largest Lottery jackpot ever won in Michigan. A $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot won in January 2021 holds the record for the largest jackpot won in Michigan. The last Michigan player to win a Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis, of Waterford. Davis won the game’s $70 million jackpot on Feb. 12, 2020.
The lucky winner of the jackpot should contact the Lottery’s Player Relations Division at 517-373-1237 to set up an appointment to claim their prize.
