Two Powerball players win millions of dollars. Where in US were lucky tickets sold?

Two Powerball tickets sold in Indiana and Ohio won millions of dollars, but just missed the $238 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning Powerball numbers, but not the Powerball, in the drawing Wednesday, Jan. 8, the national Powerball site said.

The Ohio ticket won $1 million, while the Indiana ticket also matched the Power Play multiplier to win $2 million, lottery officials said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $263 million, with a cash value of $117.7 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Jan. 11, the site said.

The winning numbers were 1, 20, 36, 38 and 43 with a Powerball of 24, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

More than 450,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot has not been hit since Dec. 7, when a New York player won the $256 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
