There were nine lower-tier winners in Massachusetts from Monday night’s Powerball drawing for the $1 billion jackpot.
Nine tickets sold matched four of the five numbers, along with the Powerball number, meaning each ticket won $50,000.
The winning numbers from last night’s Powerball were 13, 19, 36, 39, 59 and Powerball: 13.
The winning tickets were sold in Acushnet, Marshfield, Andover, Beverly, Sagamore, Hampden, Nantucket, Peabody, and North Chelmsford.
If won, Monday’s jackpot would have been the second-largest in the game’s history — and now, players will draw numbers for a $1.2 billion jackpot prize, keeping it standing at the second-largest in the 30-year history of the game and the fourth-largest lottery prize ever in the U.S. The largest Powerball jackpot won is $1.6 billion, won in 2016.
Powerball is played in 45 states, and its odds of winning are 1 in 292 million.
