Powerball player misses $114 million jackpot — but still wins big in Pennsylvania
A Powerball ticket sold in Pennsylvania won $2 million, just missing the $114 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Power Play multiplier but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, Sept. 22, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.
The lucky ticket was sold online, lottery officials told McClatchy News in an email.
A ticket sold in Connecticut won $1 million.
The winning numbers were 3, 29, 42, 46 and 59 with a Powerball of 15. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
Powerball jackpot rises
Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $127 million, with a cash value of about $59 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, Sept. 24, the national Powerball site said.
Nearly 330,000 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 Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.
