If you played the Powerball for Wednesday night's drawing, you'll need to find another way to come up with three-quarters of a billion dollars. The sole $768 million winning ticket was sold in Wisconsin, at a store in a suburb of Milwaukee. But the Powerball winners aren't solely those who hit the jackpot. In Massachusetts, one $150,000 winning ticket and four $50,000 winning tickets were sold for last night's drawing.

The state lottery said the $150,000 winning ticket was sold at Market Basket, 288 Chelmsford St. in Chelmsford.

The four locations that sold $50,000 winning tickets are:

You get those sweet consolation prizes by hitting any four numbers plus the Powerball — and in the case of the $150,000 winner, playing the Power Play for an extra dollar. The Power Play on Wednesday night's drawing was multiplied by three.

You might still be a winner even if you didn't win big. There were more than 150,000 $4 winners, more than 12,000 $7 winners and more than 420 $100 winners. That's before getting into Power Play winners, which resulted in 18 $300 winners.
