Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! One lucky lottery player became a millionaire overnight after winning the Powerball jackpot worth $231 million.

A lucky Powerball player from Delaware purchased a winning ticket that matched all five numbers, plus the Powerball, drawn on Monday, April 6, winning the $231 million grand prize, according to Powerball’s website.

Once the winner claims their prize, they can choose to receive annuitized payments or a one-time lump-sum amount of $104.9 million. At this time, no one has claimed the jackpot.

 

Delaware strikes gold. A lone Powerball player has hit the $231 million jackpot after matching all five numbers plus the Powerball in Monday’s drawing, instantly becoming a millionaire many times over — but the ticket remains unclaimed, and the clock is already ticking. Winners face a choice: take the money over time or grab a $104.9 million lump sum, while the jackpot has now reset to $20 million for Wednesday’s draw. It’s the third Powerball mega-win this year, a brutal reminder that for most players, the odds stay long — and for one lucky ticket, life just changed overnight.
