Someone has won the gargantuan Powerball jackpot in the U.S., netting a record-breaking $758.7 million.
This is the largest lottery win with a single ticket in the country’s history—a $1.6 billion jackpot was won in January 2016, but by three ticket-holders.
According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, the ticket that won Wednesday’s drawing—with the winning numbers of 6, 7, 16, 23 and 26, with a Powerball number of 4—was sold at the Pride Station & Store in Chicopee, Mass. The lottery mistakenly first said that the ticket was sold at Handy Variety convenience store in Watertown, Mass. This is the fourth Powerball-winning ticket to be sold in the state.
The odds of winning the lottery were a whopping 292.2 million to one. These odds are tougher than they used to be. Before a 2015 change increased the number of balls in the draw from 59 to 69, the odds were a relatively-manageable (ok, maybe not) 175 million to one.

The massive jackpot resulted from no one winning the Powerball in the last couple of months. With the pot now reset, the next Powerball drawing this weekend has a total of $40 million.
