Bismarck (CSi) Two tickets in North Dakota won significant cash prizes in the Powerball drawing Wednesday night.

One ticket sold at the Cenex, 24 Northern Pacific Ave., Turtle Lake, N.D., is worth $100,000, according to the North Dakota Lottery. The player purchased the $1 extra per play, multiplying the winnings by 2. The base prize was $50,000.

A $50,000 Powerball ticket was sold at Hugo’s, 155 E. 12th St., Grafton. The winning ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball.

 

No one in South Dakota won the world record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot, but two tickets worth $50,000 apiece were sold in the state.

Lottery officials say one ticket was sold in Rapid City and the other in Sioux Falls. They both matched four of five white ball numbers and the Powerball in Wednesday’s drawing to win the game’s third prize. The odds of winning it are 1 in about 913,000.

The Powerball jackpot will be split three ways, among winners in Florida, Tennessee and California. The jackpot starts over at $40 million for the next drawing, on Saturday.

Separately, a Wild Card 2 ticket sold in Sioux Fall is worth $6,000 in Wednesday’s drawing.
