Did you play Powerball this weekend? Check your ticket — it could be worth $1 million
If you bought a Powerball ticket this weekend, you may have a whole lot more to celebrate than just the Fourth of July.
According to a press release from the Idaho Lottery, a ticket worth $1 million was sold in Idaho. That ticket matched all five of the first numbers from Saturday’s Powerball draw: 19, 42, 45, 48, 53. The Powerball was 16.
"We are encouraging everyone who played Powerball for last night's draw to check their tickets carefully for winners," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery director, in the release. "Too often we see players not match the Powerball and think they do not have a winning ticket."
It wasn’t immediately clear where or when the winning ticket was sold.
There was no nationwide jackpot winner last night (meaning a ticket with all five numbers and the Powerball number), making the Wednesday night estimated jackpot $121 million.
Lottery winners have 180 days to claim their prize from the Idaho Lottery headquarters in Boise.
