5 win $1 million as Powerball grows again

Twenty tickets just missed winning the Powerball jackpot last night, but five of them won $1 million, while the others can collect $200,000 each.

Twenty tickets just missed winning the Powerball jackpot last night, but five of them won $1 million, while the others can collect $200,000 each.

All of these tickets hit the first five numbers drawn - 1, 6, 10, 13 and 20 - but none matched the Powerball, which was 32.

As a result, the jackpot for Saturday jumped to $220 million for the annuity, or $114.6 million cash.

The $1 million goes to the five players who also had the Power Play multiplier option. Those tickets were purchased in Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Two tickets sold in Pennsylvania and another in New Jersey were among those to win $200,000. Florida also had two. With one apiece were Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Tomorrow night, Mega Millions has a $12 million annuity jackpot because a New York ticket hit a $64 million jackpot on Tuesday night. The ticket was sold by the 72 Lucky Lotto on Third Avenue in Brooklyn.

Both games are sold in 40 states, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Florida and Louisiana play just Powerball, California sells just Mega Millions, and seven states - Alaska, Alabama, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming - sell neither.
