Topline:
Someone is waking up a billionaire this morning after winning the $1.76 billion Powerball Jackpot Wednesday night.
The winning ticket was sold at Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, an unincorporated community in Kern County with about 2,600 residents, according to the California Lottery.
About the win: This ends a 35 consecutive drawing streak without a winner that stretched back to July 19. That's when the last winning ticket of $1 billion was sold in downtown Los Angeles at Las Palmitas Mini Market.
This prize is the second-largest Powerball jackpot and U.S. lottery jackpot won according to lottery officials. The $2 billion jackpot holds the world record, which was sold back in Altadena last November.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
The winning numbers: 22, 24, 40, 52, 64 and the Powerball number was 10.

What's next: The golden ticket holder will have the option to get either a $774.1 million lump sum or 30 annual payments to add up to $1.765 billion that would increase by 5% each year.
