The Powerball Jackpot Winner Revealed Who Scored Big in Downtown LA
The identity of the elusive Powerball jackpot winner from last summer has finally been disclosed. Yanira Alvarez, a resident of downtown Los Angeles, has come forward as the lucky ticket holder.

The ticket matched all 6 numbers drawn – 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and the Powerball 24.
As the sole Powerball jackpot winner, Alvarez had the choice of taking home either the full $1.08 billion prize paid as an annuity over 29 years or a lump sum cash option of $558.1 million before taxes. She opted for the latter, instantly receiving over half a billion dollars. This was the first of two billion-dollar jackpots sold in California within a few months. Demonstrating the state’s growing popularity for Powerball jackpot winners.
