GILBERT, AZ — A couple from Gilbert has claimed the $473.1 million Powerball jackpot from last Wednesday's drawing, according to a news release from Arizona Lottery. This is the biggest jackpot ever won from a single ticket in Arizona. The married couple, who chose to remain anonymous, claimed their prize on Friday and opted for a lump sum payout of $283.3 million. The winning ticket was sold April 26 at the QuikTrip at 726 S. Gilbert Road, in Gilbert. The store will receive a $50,000 bonus from Arizona Lottery for selling the winning ticket. "The Arizona Lottery is all about making dreams come true and doing good in our community," Arizona Lottery Executive Director Gregg Edgar said in a statement. "As the Powerball rolled over the past few weeks, we saw many winners from all over the state. We are thrilled for this winning couple who came forward to claim this historic jackpot, and we are even happier about how this big win will impact Arizona."
