Powerball players win millions in prizes. Where were the lucky tickets sold?
Powerball tickets sold in New York and Massachusetts won millions of dollars and narrowly missed the $164 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, Aug. 3, according to the national Powerball site.
The New York ticket also matched the Power Play to win $2 million, while the Massachusetts ticket won $1 million.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $174 million, with a cash value of $86.6 million, for the next drawing Monday, Aug. 5.
The winning numbers were 13, 33, 40, 60 and 61, with a Powerball of 20. The Power Play was 3.
Nearly 500,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the state lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot has gone unclaimed since July 3, when an Ohio player hit the $139.3 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
