TACOMA — A Powerball ticket sold in Washington won $50,000 but just missed the $131 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four of five winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, Washington’s Lottery said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $142 million, with a cash value of about $65.8 million, for the next drawing Monday, Feb. 10, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 23, 44, 57, 60 and 62, with a Powerball of 9, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
More than 565,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
