 While the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot was won last night on a ticket sold in California, the July 19 drawing produced two Maryland tickets worth $1 million each. In addition, one ticket sold in Maryland was a third-tier winner with the Power Play option, delivering a $100,000 prize, and there were two other third-tier tickets in Maryland worth $50,000 each.
