Powerball player wins $50,000 prize in Missouri. Where was lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player in Missouri won $50,000, just missing the $177 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Monday, May 26, the Missouri Lottery site said.
The lucky ticket was sold at a QuikTrip store in Bridgeton, which is about a 20-mile drive northwest from St. Louis, lottery officials said in an email to McClatchy News.
A player in Oregon won a $2 million prize with five numbers drawn and the Power Play, but not the Powerball.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $189 million, with a cash value of about $83.1 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, May 28, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 13, 47, 52, 64 and 67, with a Powerball of 25, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
More than 290,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won April 26, when a Kentucky player hit the $167 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
