A lucky Powerball player in Massachusetts woke up one million dollars richer on Sunday.
The Massachusetts Lottery says the winning ticket was sold at the Route 110 Convenience Store in Methuen.
The winning numbers drawn early Sunday morning -- following a delay over required "pre-draw procedures" -- were: 22, 27, 44, 52, 69 and the red Powerball 9. An even luckier Powerball player in Oregon had a ticket matching all six numbers and won the jackpot worth $1.326 billion, Powerball said in a statement.
Until this latest drawing, there had been 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner -- no one had won Powerball’s top prize since New Year’s Day.
