A Powerball player in Pennsylvania won $50,000, just missing the $326 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, July 23, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Wawa store in Huntingdon Valley, which is about a 20-mile drive north from downtown Philadelphia, officials said in an email to McClatchy News.

Another ticket sold in Georgia won a $2 million prize.

The winning numbers were 2, 18, 19, 25 and 35 with a Powerball of 25. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $350 million, with a cash value of about $156.5 million, for the next drawing Saturday, July 26, the national Powerball site said.

More than 470,000 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 May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
