$2B Powerball Winner Identity Revealed, California Man Skips Lottery Celebration

November’s $2.04 billion Powerball winner has come forward and revealed his name, but the lucky man who claimed the all-time richest lottery jackpot in US history isn’t looking for additional publicity.

After 40 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, Powerball’s November 7 drawing offered up a prize north of $2 billion. The winning numbers that night were 10-33-41-47-56 and red Powerball 10.

The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), which operates Powerball for the lottery game’s 48 participating jurisdictions, soon after announced that a single ticket had matched all six numbers to claim the $2.04 billion prize.

California lottery rules require that winners allow their identities to be made public and the retail location of where their ticket was purchased to be known. California mandates that winners’ identities be disclosed to maintain public trust in the lottery system.
