If you recently purchased a lottery ticket in Arizona, you may want to check your numbers now as one lucky winner matched enough numbers in Wednesday's (April 17) Powerball drawing to win a $1 million prize.
The lucky Powerball ticket sold in the Grand Canyon State was the only one in the country that won anything during Wednesday night's drawing, scoring $1 million after matching five of the numbers called, according to the Powerball website. If you think you may have purchased the ticket, now's the time to check to see if you won. These are the lucky numbers that helped the to-be-determined winner score their huge prize:
Numbers: 24 - 29 - 44 - 47 - 54
Powerball: 2
Power Play: 2x
Because no tickets managed to match all six numbers during Wednesday's drawing, the jackpot has risen to an estimated $98 million ahead of the drawing on Saturday (April 20).
Once the prize is claimed, the winner will join the list of other lucky players who have scored incredible, life-changing sums thanks to a lottery ticket and will be able to use their prize to fulfill the wildest dreams, from taking a long-awaited vacation to buying a new house.
