Florida and Texas Ticket Holders Split $20 Million Powerball Jackpot
Two lottery players, one located in Florida and another in Texas, have split a $20 million Powerball jackpot following the drawing held on May 2, 2026. Both individuals successfully matched all six numbers, resulting in a divided prize of $10 million each.
This event marks a rare streak for the lottery, as the main prize was won for the second consecutive occasion that the jackpot has been claimed. The May 2 results confirmed that the $20 million pool was shared equally between the two winning tickets.
The distribution of the prize between Florida and Texas has created new millionaires in both regions. Among them, one fortunate winner in Florida is now the recipient of $10 million.
The simultaneous win across two different states underscores the broad geographical reach of the lottery’s player base and the inherent volatility of jackpot distributions when multiple tickets match the winning sequence.
