破纪录！美国强力球彩票开出20.4亿美元大奖
A Powerball player in California holds the only winning ticket sold for the $2.04 billion jackpot, the lottery game’s website said on Tuesday, ending a string of 40 drawings that produced no winners and pushed the top prize into record territory.
美国加州彩票运营监管部门11月8日称，在连续40期没有开出头奖后，头奖累积金额已破记录。加州一名强力球玩家独中头奖，赢得此次价值20.4亿美元（约合人民币148亿元）的头奖奖金。
The ticket holder, whose identity was not disclosed, has a choice of taking a lump sum of $997.6 million in cash or receiving the full amount in 29 annual payments.
目前赢家身份尚未知晓，他可以选择一次性领取9.976亿美元（约合人民币72亿元），或者分期29年最终领取全额奖金。
The ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, Calif.

此次强力球彩票中奖号码是10、33、41、47、56，强力球号码是10。中奖概率为2.92亿分之一。
