BALTIMORE, MD—The Powerball jackpot continues to roll, with a $1.23 billion prize expected to be won on Saturday. The Maryland Lottery announced Wednesday night’s Powerball and Powerball Double Play drawings, which resulted in two big wins in the state.
A $1 million winning ticket was sold at a Royal Farms store in Jessup. The ticket matched the first five numbers of the Powerball, but did not match the Powerball number. In addition, a $50,000 winning ticket was sold at Oak Street Station Oceanic in Baltimore City. That ticket matched four of the first five numbers, as well as the Powerball number. The Powerball number in the Double Play was 13, while the winning numbers were 10, 44, 53, 60, and 63.
The Powerball jackpot is expected to hit $1.23 billion on Saturday night, which would be the fourth-largest in the game’s history. If the jackpot is won on Saturday, it will become the eighth-largest in U.S. lottery history. Last year, a $842.4 million Powerball prize was won on New Year’s Day, following a ticket sold in Michigan.
There were 57,418 winning tickets sold in Maryland from Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing, with winners walking away with cash prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million.
