As the Powerball powered past half a billion dollars when no one matched all six numbers in last night’s drawing, a player in Greenbelt matched five of six for a third-tier $50,000 win.
The $50,000 ticket was sold at Greenway Liquors at 7533 Greenbelt Road in Prince George’s County.
The winning Powerball numbers for the July 15 drawing are: 02, 07, 18, 29 and 38 with Powerball of 16. One player matched the numbers on four of the first five white balls drawn, plus the red Powerball for the third-tier win.
Since the last time the Powerball jackpot was hit on May 2, Powerball players in Maryland have won more than $3.1 million in prizes. The $50,000 winner in Greenbelt last night was the 11th Powerball prize of $50,000 or more won during the jackpot roll. The largest was a $100,000 winning ticket sold June 20 in Edgewood.
Three other $50,000 Powerball prizes from this jackpot run remain unclaimed as of July 16:
- Ticket sold May 22 at Korner Liquors, 3120 Old Washington Road in Waldorf
- Ticket sold June 26 at Crown Liquors, 6579 Ager Road in Hyattsville
- Ticket sold July 2 at Veterans Liquors, 11620 Baltimore Ave. in Beltsville.
All the jackpots are rolling. Since there were no top-tier winners in last night’s drawing, Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot has an estimated annuity value of $526 million with a one-time payment option of $233.5 million. Mega Millions returns on Friday with an estimated annuity jackpot of $643 million, and the Maryland-only game Multi-Match is back tonight with an estimated annuity jackpot at $2 million jackpot with a one-time payment option of $1.125 million.
