An anonymous group of Marylanders won the Powerball jackpot — earning $731.1 million, the largest lottery win in Maryland Lottery history.
The winners, called “The Power Pack,” bought a single ticket at Coney Market in Lonaconing, Maryland, on Jan. 20 — and that one winning ticket has them claiming their prize of $546.8 million in cash.
After taxes, the group will earn about $366.6 million.
