Powerball ticket sold in western WA just misses jackpot — but still wins big

A Powerball ticket sold in Western Washington missed the jackpot but still won big, according to state lottery officials.

The ticket won $50,000 in the Double Play drawing held after the main Powerball drawing on Saturday, Nov. 8, a spokesperson for Washington’s Lottery told The Olympian in a Nov. 10 email.

Double Play is a $1 add-on that gives Powerball players a second chance to win prizes.

The winning Washington ticket matched four numbers and the red Powerball in the Double Play drawing, according to the national Powerball website.
