Two Powerball players just miss $103 million jackpot — but still win big in US
Two Powerball tickets sold in Ohio and Puerto Rico won $1 million each, just missing out on the $103 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The tickets matched five winning numbers in the drawing Saturday, April 20, but not the Powerball, the national Powerball site said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $115 million, with a cash value of approximately $53 million, for the next drawing Monday, April 22, according to the site.
The winning numbers were 4, 35, 41, 44 and 58, with a Powerball of 25.
More than 537,000 other tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000 in the draw, the lottery said.
