A Massachusetts resident came within one number of winning the massive Powerball jackpot, but still walked away with a $1 million prize. The winning ticket was sold at the Market Basket on Squire Road in Revere.
Big Win, But Not the Jackpot
The ticket matched all five white balls but missed the red Powerball, securing the $1 million payout. While the jackpot eluded the player, the prize remains life-changing.
More Bay State Winners
Four other tickets sold across Massachusetts each won $50,000. The winning locations included convenience stores and gas stations in Swansea, South Dennis, Marblehead, and Harwich.
Jackpot Rolls Over Again
The jackpot continues to grow after no ticket matched all six numbers. The estimated prize for the next drawing has reached $1.3 billion, with a cash option of $589 million. This marks the 41st consecutive drawing without a grand prize winner, one of the longest streaks in Powerball history.
Odds and Excitement
The odds of hitting the jackpot remain about 1 in 292 million, while the odds of winning any prize stand at roughly 1 in 25. Powerball drawings take place three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays—keeping anticipation high among players.
Local Impact
Though the jackpot remains unclaimed, Massachusetts continues to celebrate strong wins. For the Revere community, the $1 million prize is a source of excitement, and even the $50,000 wins offer a major financial boost.
