The Washington Lottery confirmed with KOMO News that a single winning ticket for the $754.6 million Powerball jackpot was sold in Auburn. Lottery officials said the single winning ticket was sold on Feb. 5 at the Fred Meyer located at 801 Auburn Way North.

Monday night's winning numbers were 05, 11, 22, 23, 69 and the Powerball 07. The jackpot ranks as the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and the ninth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot, according to the Powerball website.

KOMO News spoke with a number of Fred Meyer employees at the store Tuesday who said they're wishful that one of their coworkers is holding the winning ticket.

"I would be excited if it was one of my fellow employees because then they would have a better time than the rest of us," said 19-year-old employee William Connolly, who has never bought a lottery ticket before. "Maybe they could spare like 10 cents, spare the change and what not."

The lucky winner had not come forward as of noon Tuesday. Washington’s Lottery Deputy Director Joshua Johnston said the winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize. The winner is also not allowed to remain anonymous.

"They cannot accept it anonymously, unfortunately," said Johnston. "The public disclosure laws in the state don’t allow us to keep our winner’s identity private or anonymous."

The retailer that sold the winning ticket will receive a $50,000 “retailer bonus.”

“We give [the retailer bonus] to the company and how they choose to distribute the money is really up to them,” Johnston said.

The Fred Meyer that sold the winning Powerball ticket also appears to be lucky. Johnston said the Auburn Fred Meyer has sold two winning tickets since January, the first was a winning Hit 5 ticket.

"Who would’ve thought! Auburn never gets anything super exciting," said Markia Rinehart, who regularly shops at the Fred Meyer that sold Monday night’s winning ticket.

This is the second time a Powerball jackpot has been won in Washington state. Lottery officials said the first time was in 2014 when a woman won a $90 million jackpot. The winning ticket in 2014 was also purchased in Auburn.

The full jackpot is for a winner opting for an annuity distributed in one immediate but partial payout followed by additional payments over 29 years that increase by 5% annually. The winner also can opt for a one-time cash payment of $407.2 million.

Both prizes available are the amounts before taxes, Powerball said.

Higher interest rates have allowed annuity payments to increase compared with earlier jackpots, when rates were lower. Most winners prefer the immediate cash prize.

The Powerball jackpot was last hit on Nov. 19, 2022, by a single ticket in Kansas that won a grand prize worth $92.9 million. The jackpot for the next drawing scheduled for Wednesday is $20 million, according to the lottery's website.

The game’s abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to build big prizes drawing more players. That strategy certainly has worked recently, as someone in Maine won a $1.35 billion Mega Millions prize in January and a California player hit a record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot last November. No one has claimed either of those prizes.

Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
