Two Powerball players win $1 million prizes. Where in the US were lucky tickets sold?

Two Powerball tickets sold in New York and Washington, D.C., won $1 million each but just missed the $483 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, March 26, the national Powerball site said.

The New York ticket was sold at a gas station in Hampton Bays on Long Island, about an 85-mile drive east from New York City, the New York Lottery said. The Washington, D.C., lottery site did not say where that winning ticket was sold.

A ticket sold in California won $5.7 million.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $515 million, with a cash value of about $242.7 million, for the next drawing Saturday, March 29, the national Powerball site said.

The winning numbers were 5, 20, 29, 39 and 53, with a Powerball of 6, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

More than 590,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
