The winner of the American lottery Powerball will get 2.04 billion dollars (about the same amount in euros). It is the largest lottery win ever in the US. The top prize was so extremely high because the jackpot hadn’t fallen since August 3. The previous record was a profit of $1.58 billion and dated back to 2016. Then three winners had to share the main prize.
