Powerball player wins $1 million. Where in the US was the lucky ticket sold?
A lucky Powerball player in Colorado won $1 million but just missed the $353 million jackpot, lottery officials said.
The winning ticket matched five numbers, but not the Powerball, in the drawing Wednesday, March 12, according to the national Powerball site.
It was sold at a Liquor Max in Loveland, Colorado, the state lottery office told McClatchy News by email. The winner hasn’t claimed their prize yet.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $378 million, with a cash value of $177.5 million, for the next drawing Saturday, March 15.
A Powerball player in West Virginia also won $1 million.
More than 450,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The winning numbers were 11, 13, 28, 51 and 58 with a Powerball of 1, the lottery said. The Power Play was 2x.
The Powerball jackpot was last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
