Powerball ticket sold in Kent wins $1 million. Here’s where it was purchased
A Powerball ticket sold in Kent won $1 million in the drawing held Sept. 29, a lottery official said.
The ticket, sold at a Safeway grocery store, matched five winning numbers, only missing the Powerball.
If it had matched the Powerball, too, it would have hit the $160 million jackpot, which has now grown to an estimated $174 million ahead of the next drawing.
The $1 million Kent ticket was sold at Safeway at 210 Washington Ave. S., a Washington’s Lottery spokesperson told The Olympian by email. The store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
Three other tickets — sold in Florida, Illinois and New York — also won $1 million in the drawing, according to the national Powerball website.
What were the winning Powerball numbers?
The winning numbers in the Sept. 29 drawing were 1, 3, 27, 60 and 65, plus a Powerball of 16, the national Powerball website said. The Power Play was 5x.
In all, thousands of tickets across the country won prizes, starting at $4.
Eight tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball to win $50,000, and two matched those numbers plus included the Power Play add-on, which brought their winning totals to $250,000 each, per the Powerball site.
None of those lucky $50,000 or $250,000 tickets were sold in Washington.
A Powerball ticket sold in Richland won $100,000 in the drawing on Sept. 27, the Tri-City Herald reported.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
The next Powerball drawing is Wednesday, Oct. 1.
The jackpot is estimated to be $174 million, with a cash value of $80.7 million.
The last time the jackpot was hit was Sept. 6, when two tickets — one sold in Texas and one in Missouri — both matched all five numbers and the Powerball to split the grand prize of $1.787 billion.
Kent is about a 20-mile drive northeast from Tacoma and a 46-mile drive northeast from Olympia.
