Check Your Powerball Numbers: $1 Million Winner in Connecticut

Nobody won Wednesday’s $524 million Powerball jackpot. But somebody in Connecticut is going to walk away from it with a cool million.

The winning numbers were 2-11-47-62-63-17.

Somebody who purchased a ticket in Hartford County hit on the million-dollar Match 5, meaning they matched five of those numbers, but not the Powerball.

There were also Match 5 winners in California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

Currently, Powerball officials estimate Saturday’s jackpot will be $700 million. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

In total, 106,231 winning Powerball tickets were sold in Connecticut for Wednesday’s date, with prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million, according to the Connecticut Lottery.

Because there was no jackpot winning ticket sold on that date, Saturday’s Powerball jackpot has climbed to a new record-breaking high of an estimated $700 million, the CT Lottery said in a statement.

The overall odds of winning a Powerball prize are 1 in 24.9.

The CT Lottery in its statement reminds the public that purchasers must be 18 or older, and to please play responsibly.

Players are also reminded to check their Powerball tickets carefully after each drawing. In addition to the jackpot, there are still many other prizes to be won ranging from $4 up to $2 million.
