A Powerball player in Reisterstown missed being a multimillionaire by one number in the Dec. 1, but still walked away with a $50,000 prize.
If you bought a ticket at the Shell gas station at 30 Main Street in Reisterstown, you should check it, because that’s the spot where the $50,000 winner was sold. Numbers drawn were: 5, 18, 26, 47 and 59 with a Powerball of 1. The hot ticket matched four of the first five white balls drawn plus the red Powerball.
Across the country, no one matched all six Powerball numbers, but three players, one each in California, Georgia and Illinois, matched the first five white balls drawn but not the Powerball for second-tier prizes of $1 million.
No jackpot winners means the estimated annuity jackpot for the next drawing on Dec. 3 rolled to $775 million, with an estimated cash option of $362.5 million.
Across Maryland, 17,502 Powerball players won prizes ranging from $4 to $50,000 in the Dec. 1 drawing.
