A California man has won the second biggest Powerball Jackpot ever in the USA, after claiming $1.765billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n The winning ticket had been unclaimed since October, but according to Lottery officials a named winner has clinched the $1.765bn.<\/p>\n Representing a list of winners, Theodorus Struyck, has been named as the winner and the 65-year-old has picked up the second biggest win in Powerball history.<\/p>\n There has not been too much information about the 65-year-old, but the older statesman is said to be a fishing enthusiast, grandfather and ‘really pleasan’t.<\/p>\n Before taxes, the $1.765bn jackpot is valued at a $774.1million, and will be directed to the 65-year-old in just one payment.<\/p>\n The 65-year-old is said to have bought his ticket near his home of north Los Angeles from Midway Market, dating back to October last year.<\/p>\n Such a win makes it the second largest US lottery Powerball jackpot in history, only beaten by a $2.04bn win in 2022 by Edwin Castro, another California resident who went on to purchase a long list of real estate.<\/p>\n California Lottery director, Harjinder K. Shergill Chima, has applauded the decision to announce Struyck’s win – hoping to attract more players in the future.<\/p>\n The Lottery director said: “Announcing big wins like this gives all of our players the chance to hope and dream that they could be next.”<\/p>\n Another payment option, opposed to the $774.1m sum, is to have 30 annual payments and this was confirmed when Powerball revealed that the jackpot was clinched in early October.<\/p>\n The odds of winning the jackpot, according to Powerball, is one in 292.2 million, making it one of the toughest lotteries in America.<\/p>\n The next draw will hold a jackpot of $645m and will be revealed on Monday 19th March 2024 – with players hoping to land on the same fate as Struyck.<\/p>\nCalifornia Man Wins Powerball Jackpot<\/h2>\n
