14 DAY TRIAL // A Powerball ticket sold at a Dixon Landing, California gas station matched all six numbers for the $425 million national jackpot, announced lottery officials.
For the moment, there are no details available about the winner of one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history, and officials are still waiting to hear from the buyer of the single winning ticket. The odds of winning were 1 in 175 million.
However, many jackpot winners usually take a few days to consult with lawyers and financial advisers before coming forward and claiming their prize.
Alex Traversol, spokesperson for California Lottery, says that the Dixon Landing Chevron gas station in Milpitas will also receive a bonus of $1 million for selling the winning ticket.
According to the official, the winner can opt to receive the full amount as an annuity paid during over 30 years or to take home the entire sum at once, informs Mercury News.
The biggest lottery prize recorded in U.S. was a $656 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot in 2012. The biggest Powerball jackpot reached $590.5 million and was won last May.
