Winner claims N.D. Powerball prize

BISMARCK (AP) — Someone in North Dakota is $200,000 richer.

The North Dakota Lottery said a ticket buyer who chose to remain anonymous claimed the prize Thursday at the lottery’s Bismarck headquarters.

The winning ticket for Wednesday’s drawing was sold at a Fargo grocery store. It’s the second $200,000 ticket that’s been sold in Fargo during the past month.

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.

No one matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing. The next drawing is Saturday, when the jackpot will grow to about $57 million.
