The Week in Winners: Reisterstown Powerball Ticket Narrowly Misses Jackpot as Lottery Players Win $31.4M

Maryland Lottery scratch-off players in Manchester and Whiteford each won $100,000 in the past week, while a Powerball player in Reisterstown missed winning a jackpot that’s approaching $1 billion by one number.

The Reisterstown Powerball player matched four of the first five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number, delivering a $50,000 prize in the Dec. 1 drawing. That prize remained unclaimed as of Dec. 8.

With no Powerball jackpot winners since early September, the jackpot has continued to grow, and it stands at an estimated annuity value of $875 million for the drawing tonight (Dec. 8), making it the seventh largest in the game’s history. The one-time payment option is an estimated $403.6 million.

During the week of Dec. 1-7, players won more than $31.4 million on all Lottery games across Maryland, including 22 tickets worth $10,000 or more.
