Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold in Colorado

A $1 million ticket was sold in Colorado for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, but no jackpot winners mean the grand prize has now surged to the game’s third largest prize.

The Powerball jackpot now stands at an estimated $1.4 billion for the next drawing on Saturday night. The jackpot has a cash value of $643.7 million.

The Powerball drawing on Wednesday night produced more than 3.2 million winning tickets across the country, including seven tickets that matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes.

As well as the Colorado ticket, two $1 million tickets apiece were sold in California and Texas and one apiece in New York and Pennsylvania.

Three more tickets, from Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Texas, matched the five white balls and included the Power Play feature to increase their winnings to $2 million.

Four Colorado tickets also won smaller $50,000 prizes.

Saturday’s estimated jackpot ranks as the third largest in the Powerball game and fifth largest among U.S. lottery jackpots.

The upcoming Powerball drawing on Saturday will be the 34th drawing in the jackpot run, and the first time in Powerball history that back-to-back jackpot cycles have generated billion-dollar grand prizes.

The Powerball jackpot was previously won on July 19, when a ticket in California won a jackpot worth $1.08 billion.
