The union of Powerball players purchased 177 tickets, and one ticket featured four of the five numbers and the correct Powerball number. The ticket in question had the number 9 instead of the winning 19, Poughkeepsie Journal reported.

Each member of the group will receive around $700 of the $50,000 prize before taxes, said Poughkeepsie Journal.
