Powerball ticket sold in Fargo

North Dakota lottery officials say a Powerball ticket worth $200,000 in last Saturday’s drawing was sold at a Stamart convenience store in Fargo.

BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota lottery officials say a Powerball ticket worth $200,000 in last Saturday’s drawing was sold at a Stamart convenience store in Fargo.

It is the first winning $200,000 Powerball ticket sold in North Dakota this year. Whoever holds it has 180 days to cash it in.

The Powerball lottery drawing has six numbers — five “white” numbers and the “red” Powerball number. A jackpot winner must match all six numbers. Anyone who matches the first five wins a $200,000 prize. The odds of matching the first five are one in 5.138 million.

The winning numbers for Saturday’s Powerball drawing were 20, 41, 44, 50, 54 and the Powerball was 22.

Powerball is played in 31 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing is $30 million.
