A Big Win in a Small Town: Arkansas Hits the Jackpot

A huge lottery win just happened in Arkansas. A single ticket from Cabot, a suburb of Little Rock, snagged the second-largest Powerball prize ever. The winning ticket was sold at a Murphy USA gas station, a chain often found near Walmart stores. Cabot is a growing city with around 26, 733 people. It's known for its good schools and family-friendly vibe. Many young professionals also call it home. But who won the massive $1. 817 billion jackpot? That's still a mystery. The winner hasn't come forward yet.The lucky numbers drawn on December 24 were 4, 25, 31, 52, and 59, with a Powerball of 19 and a 2X Power Play. The next drawing is on December 27, with a much smaller jackpot of $20 million. If you're curious about the timing, Powerball drawings happen three times a week—Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p. m. ET. Winning big in the lottery is rare, but it's always exciting to see where the luck strikes. For now, Cabot is in the spotlight, and the world is waiting to see who the lucky winner is.
