Single Ticket Hit Powerball’s $473 Million Jackpot

MIAMI – Know anybody in Arizona?

That’s where the winning ticket was sold for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.

The winning numbers were 11-36-61-62-68 and the Powerball was 4.

Due to strong ticket sales, the jackpot climbed beyond earlier estimates to $473.1 million at the time of the drawing with a cash option of $283.3 million.

In Florida, two tickets matched four numbers plus the Powerball number to win $50,000 each.

This was the third time the Powerball jackpot has been won this year. In the January 5 drawing, two tickets in California and Wisconsin split a $632.6 million jackpot – the 7th largest prize in Powerball history. Then, in the February 14 drawing, a ticket in Connecticut won a $185.3 million jackpot. The April 27 drawing was the 31st draw in the jackpot run.

Tickets cost $2, and drawings are each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
