A Pick lottery player from Gilbert scoops a big jackpot recently

There was no $1 billion jackpot in Arizona, but the state had a $1 million lottery winner Wednesday plus eight Powerball prizes worth at least $50,000.

While the billion-dollar Powerball contest was the center of attention, a ticket for The Pick sold in Gilbert hit the $1 million jackpot. The Pick is the Arizona Lottery’s daily draw game.

The winning entry was sold at the Fry’s Marketplace at Gilbert and Baseline roads and matched all six numbers: 16, 19, 20, 23, 40 and 42.

Meanwhile, one ticket sold in California claimed the third-largest Powerball jackpot ever by matching 7, 10, 11, 13 and 24 plus the Powerball of 24.

Wednesday night’s high-profile drawing wasn’t a total washout for Arizona players.

Eight tickets sold in the state matched four of the five numbers plus the Powerball, cashing in for a total of $500,000.
