Single ticket scoops $758.7 million US jackpot

The second largest jackpot in US history, $758.7 million, has been won by a single ticket bought in small town Massachusetts in an historic individual bonanza, lottery officials said Thursday. Wednesday's winning numbers were 6, 7, 16, 23 and 26, drawn from five white balls, and 4 as the so-called Powerball number on a red ball in the multi-state lottery. Powerball said it was "the highest jackpot won on a single ticket and the biggest lottery prize ever awarded to one single person."
