Powerball player wins $1 million prize. Where in US was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in Pennsylvania won $1 million, just missing the $337 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers, but not the Powerball, in the drawing Wednesday, Oct. 9, the national Powerball site said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $364 million, with a cash value of $179 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Oct. 12.

The winning numbers were 25, 32. 43. 53 and 66, with a Powerball of 10, the lottery said. The Power Play was 3.

Another Pennsylvania player hit four winning numbers plus the Powerball for a $50,000 prize, lottery officials said.

A player in California also hit five winning numbers but not the Powerball for a $2.3 million prize. California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

Nearly 550,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot has gone unclaimed since Aug. 19, when a California player won the $44 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
