Powerball player just misses $167 million jackpot — but wins big in Pennsylvania
A Powerball player in Pennsylvania won $50,000, just missing the $167 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, April 26, the Pennsylvania Lottery site said.
The lucky ticket was sold at Roxy Gas & Snacks in Philadelphia, lottery officials told McClatchy News.
A player in Kentucky won the grand prize, which resets to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $9.2 million, for the next drawing Monday, April 28, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 1, 12, 14, 18 and 69, with a Powerball of 2, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
More than 510,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was previously won March 29, when a California player hit the $527 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
