After no one hit the Powerball® jackpot Monday night, the jackpot for Wednesday, Dec. 20, has increased to an estimated $572 million, with an estimated cash value of $286.7 million.
One lucky player in the Coldwater area matched four out of five white balls and the Powerball, winning $50,000.
The winning Powerball numbers from Monday night’s drawing were: 5-8-19-34-39 with a Powerball of 26 and a Power Play number of 3.
Had the player spent an additional $1 for the Power Play option, they could have tripled their initial win of $50,000 to $150,000.
The winning ticket was purchased from Coldwater Travel Center in Coldwater.
