Four other players win $50,000 in Monday drawing
The April Fools’ Day Powerball drawing showered Maryland with winning tickets, including two worth $1 million sold at the same 7-Eleven in Annapolis. Four other players won $50,000 third-tier prizes on tickets sold by retailers in Elkton, Frederick, Hyattsville and Oxon Hill.
No one hit the jackpot, which rolled to an estimated annuity of $1.09 billion for the Wednesday, April 3 drawing. The estimated cash value is $527.3 million. If the jackpot is hit at $1.09 billion on Wednesday, it would be the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history and the ninth largest in U.S. history.
The winning numbers were 19, 24, 40, 42 and 56; the Powerball was 23. Check your tickets carefully if you bought them at one of these five locations:
