2 Powerball winning tickets worth $50,000 sold in Massachusetts
BOSTON - The Powerball jackpot is up to $1.4 billion after no one won the jackpot in Wednesday night's drawing, but there were two smaller winners in Massachusetts, according to the state Lottery.
Wednesday's winning numbers were 9, 35, 54, 63, 64 with a Powerball of 1.
Two tickets in Massachusetts were $50,000 winners when they matched four out of the five numbers plus the Powerball.
They were sold at Pick and Pay on South Washington Street in North Attleboro and South End Liquors on South Main Street in Fall River.
The next drawing is Saturday night. The $1.4 billion jackpot is the fifth-biggest in U.S. lottery history. The lump sum, one-time payment is now up to $643.7 million.
"With this jackpot now well over the $1 billion mark, it is a very exciting time for our customers and our retail partners, and we encourage people to keep the experience enjoyable by playing responsibly and within their means," Mass Lottery Executive Director Mark William Bracken said in a statement Thursday.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million.
