Powerball player misses $116 million jackpot — but still wins big in New York

A Powerball ticket sold in New York won $1 million, narrowly missing out on the $116 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, April 22, the New York Lottery said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $129 million, with a cash value of almost $60 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, April 24, according to the national Powerball site.

The winning numbers were 12, 16, 33, 39 and 52, with a Powerball of 1.

The winning $1 million ticket in New York was sold at a supermarket in Cicero, about a 250-mile drive northwest from New York City. More than 28,000 other Powerball tickets sold in New York also won prizes ranging from $4 to $50,000, the state lottery said.
