Powerball lottery jackpot: $1M ticket, 2 $100,000 tickets sold in Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. - Saturday’s Powerball jackpot has soared to a whopping $1.7 billion after no one hit the jackpot Wednesday night. However, a $1 million ticket was purchased at a Publix in Florida, and several other winners from the Sunshine State also walked away with thousands in lottery earnings.

Did anyone win the Powerball Jackpot in the Sept. 3 drawing?

While no one won the $1.4 billion Powerball jackpot, there were several winning tickets sold in Florida, including one worth $1 million.

According to the Florida Lottery, a ticket worth $1 million was sold at the Publix grocery store in Fort Myers. It's located at 11600 Gladiolus Drive. To win, that ticket matched all five numbers, but not the Powerball number.

There were two tickets worth $100,000 and 10 worth $50,000 also sold ahead of the Sept. 3 drawing.

What were the winning Powerball numbers?

The winning numbers were 3, 16, 29, 61, 69. The red Powerball was 22. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

Powerball says 11 tickets matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes. Those tickets were sold in California (2), Colorado, Florida, Georgia (2), Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
