While nobody hit the jackpot in Monday night's Powerball drawing, someone in FL is $1M richer. A $1M-winning ticket was also sold in TX.
FLORIDA — Though nobody took home the $456 million jackpot in Monday night’s Powerball drawing, one ticket holder in Florida won $1 million. A $1 million-winning ticket was also sold in Texas, lottery officials said.
These two tickets matched the five main draw numbers — 1, 25, 57, 62 and 64 — but didn’t match the Powerball, 15.
Florida’s $1 million ticket was a Quick Pick sold at a Miami Publix at 14630 S.W. 26th St., according to the Miami Herald.
