Powerball players had to wait overnight to get their results, but it was worth it for some in Maryland, where there were nine prizes of at least $50,000 on tickets sold in Maryland, including a $1 million second-tier winner.
In California, one person is holding on to a ticket worth the largest single jackpot prize in lottery history after it swelled to $2.04 billion, with a cash value of $997.6 million, according to lotto officials.
Closer to home, the second-tier winning ticket worth a cool $1 million was sold on the day of the drawing on Monday, Nov. 7 at One Mile Liquor on Baltimore National Pike in Catonsville, where a player matched the first five numbers but narrowly missed out on the jackpot because it did not match the Powerball.
The winning numbers were 10-33-41-47-56 with a Powerball of 10.
There were a total of 22 $1 million prize-winning tickets sold across the country.
Another Maryland Lottery player won a third-tier prize of $50,000 that was doubled to $100,000 because the winner added the Power Play option to the ticket, which was sold Sunday, Nov. 6 at Smallwood Village Exxon located on St. Thomas Drive in Waldorf.
Seven others won $50,000 third-tier prizes in the drawing, but didn’t double down. The tickets were sold:
- On Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7-Eleven on East Smallwood Drive in Waldorf;
- On Nov. 5 at Maryland House on I-95 in Aberdeen;
- On Nov. 6 at Weis Market on Scott Moore Way in Perry Hall;
- On Nov. 7 at 260 BP on West Chesapeake Beach Road in Dunkirk;
- On Nov. 7 at White Plains Wine & Spirits on Crain Highway in White Plains;
- On Nov. 7 at Wawa on South Salisbury Boulevard in Salisbury;
- On Nov. 7 at Check Cash Depot on Piney Branch Road in Silver Spring.
The odds of matching all six numbers to win the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 25.
