A Powerball ticket sold in Pennsylvania won $150,000, just missing the $20 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play in the drawing Monday, Sept. 8, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold online, lottery officials said in an email to McClatchy News.

The winning numbers were 26, 28, 41, 53 and 64 with a Powerball of 9. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

Powerball jackpot resets

Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $33 million, with a cash value of about $15.2 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, Sept. 10, the national Powerball site said.

Nearly 540,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won Saturday, Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
