A woman in Erie, Colorado won a $1 million prize in the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, November 2 after ordering her ticket on the Jackpocket lottery app.
The player’s Quick Pick ticket came extremely close to winning the $1.2 billion top prize. Her ticket matched all 5 white ball numbers but was just one number away from matching the red Powerball. Her Powerball number was 24; the winning Powerball number drawn was 23.
The win follows on the heels of a $1.3 million lottery prize won by a Jackpocket player in Fort Collins in June.
