A Powerball player in Texas won the other half after also matching all six numbers, drawn on September 6.
“I’m going to just do me for a year,” the winner told Missouri lottery officials Monday, adding that he plans to spend time with his wife.
The shared prize was the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot in history after 41 consecutive drawings in which no one matched all six numbers.
The historic prize dwarfs the previous Missouri Powerball record, which was set in 2012, of $293.7 million.
The odds of winning the jackpot are one in 292.2 million.
