A lucky Arkansan has beaten the odds and won the Powerball lottery jackpot.
Lottery officials say a single ticket sold in Arkansas matched all six numbers in Monday night’s drawing, winning an estimated $251 million jackpot with a cash value of about $118 million.
The winning numbers were 2, 17, 18, 38 and 62, with the Powerball number 2. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
Another winning ticket in Monday’s drawing matched five numbers and the Power Play, worth $2 million, and was sold in Puerto Rico.
The win marks the second historic Powerball jackpot sold in Arkansas in recent months. On Christmas Eve, a ticket sold in the state won a $1.82 billion Powerball jackpot, one of the largest lottery prizes in U.S. history.
Officials with the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery have not released additional information about the latest winner.
