As the Powerball jackpot grew to an all-time high of $2.04 billion, a lucky Missouri Lottery player won a $50,000 prize on a ticket he purchased for the Oct. 22 drawing at a vending machine at Kansas City International Airport.
“It was a Quick Pick ticket,” the winner explained. “I’ve been playing for a long time.”
When the player realized he had won a $50,000 prize, he was very thankful.
“It was great to hit it,” he added. “It couldn’t have come at a better time.”
The winning numbers on Oct. 22 were 19, 25, 48, 55 and 60, with a Powerball number of 18. The winning ticket matched four of the white-ball numbers drawn, as well as the Powerball number.
Powerball is a $2 per play multi-state Draw Game with drawings held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:59 p.m. All current and past winning numbers can be found at MOLottery.com.
