Have you played Powerball in Ada County lately? Your ticket could be worth $2 million

Idaho Lottery officials on Sunday announced that a winning Powerball ticket was sold in Ada County — to the tune of $2 million.

The ticket matches all five of the first numbers from Saturday’s $133.2 million Powerball total, according to an Idaho Lottery press release.

The winning numbers are 17, 18, 24, 25, 31 with a Powerball of 24.

The winner has 180 days to come forward and claim the prize from lottery headquarters in Boise. Lottery director Jeff Anderson said in the release that he hopes the winner will be found.

“Too often we see players not match the Powerball and think they do not have a winning ticket. In this case, the ticket matched all five of the first numbers, and also has the PowerPlay feature, which makes it a $2 million winner,” Anderson said.

The $2 million winner joins more than 5,200 other Idahoans who won a prize in the Saturday night drawing, though the odds of matching all five numbers is a one in 11,688,054 chance.
