A Powerball ticket bought at a Kansas City liquor store netted one player $50,000, lottery officials say.

The winning numbers for Saturday, April 19’s drawing were 7, 25, 37, 39 and 63, and the Powerball was 1.

A total of 8,539 players in Missouri won money from their tickets showing any of these numbers, but only one person in the state matched four numbers and the Powerball, according to the Missouri Lottery.

The ticket was bought at Mike’s Wine & Spirits, 8447 Wornall Road in the Waldo neighborhood, lottery officials said.

The estimated jackpot for April 19’s Powerball drawing was $129 million and its cash value was $59.1 million. Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $139 million with a cash value of about $63.8 million, for the next drawing Monday, April 21, the national Powerball site said.

A player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball to score a jackpot. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are about 1 in 290 million. The jackpot was last won March 29, when the winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim, California.
