A $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Maryland Monday night as the jackpot continues to climb toward the $1 billion mark.
The winning ticket was purchased at Harvest Fare Supermarket at 2315 Belair Road in Fallston, MD and matched all five white-ball numbers drawn Monday night: 6, 37, 54, 55 and 64. The ticket missed only the Powerball number, 10.
With no jackpot winner, the Powerball jackpot for Wednesday, Aug. 12, has climbed to an estimated $975 million, with a cash option of $422.3 million.
Monday night’s win marks Maryland’s third $1 million Powerball prize in less than two weeks. A $1 million ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in College Park for the Aug. 1 drawing, while another was sold at a Royal Farms in Odenton for the July 29 drawing. The Odenton prize was claimed Monday by an anonymous Anne Arundel County resident who used the nickname “Powerball Bulldog.”
Powerball drawings are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights at 10:59 p.m.
