An Arkansas Powerball jackpot winner has claimed the $1.8 billion prize connected to the December 24, 2025 drawing, choosing a one-time cash payment of $834.9 million before tax withholdings and electing to remain anonymous.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery reported that the winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at Murphy USA 7879, located at 208 S. Rockwood in Cabot, Arkansas, for the Dec. 24 drawing.

The winning numbers listed were 4, 25, 31, 52, and 59, with Powerball 19 and a Power Play multiplier of 2.

Under Arkansas law, jackpot winners of $500,000 or more may request to keep their identity private for up to three years after claiming a prize.

In this case, the winner used that option, and no identifying information was released.

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery also disclosed operational figures tied to the jackpot cycle in the state, reporting $15,021,939 in Powerball cash sales in Arkansas during that run and $768,267 in retailer commissions statewide.

It stated that Murphy USA 7879 will receive a $50,000 commission for selling the winning jackpot ticket.
