The Week in Winners: Powerball Delivers three $50K Prizes, as Mega Millions Jackpot Rolls Past $600M

Lottery prizes last week totaled nearly $32.2 million, with 42 tickets worth $10,000 or more

The latest Powerball jackpot of $256 million was won in Saturday night’s drawing on a ticket sold in Queens, New York, but in Maryland the rolling jackpot game generated three wins at the $50,000 level last week.

While the New York Powerball win resulted in the jackpot being reset to $20 million, the Mega Millions jackpot is still rolling, with an estimated annuity value of $619 million (cash value $297.7 million) for the drawing on Dec. 10.

Across the state, and across all games, the Maryland Lottery paid nearly $32.2 million in prizes during the week of Dec. 2-8, including 42 tickets worth $10,000 or more that were sold or redeemed in that seven-day span.

Winners are encouraged to sign the backs of tickets and keep winning tickets in a safe location. Tickets for draw games expire 182 days after the drawing. FAST PLAY tickets expire 182 days after purchase. The last date to claim for scratch-offs is posted on the scratch-offs page.

Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem tickets at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only. Prizes up to $25,000 can be claimed at the cashier window of any of the six casinos in Maryland. Prizes up to $5,000 can be claimed at any of more than 400 Expanded Cashing Authority Program (XCAP) locations. All Maryland Lottery retailers are authorized to redeem tickets worth up to and including $600. More information is available on the How to Claim page of the Lottery website.
