The player, who hasn’t been identified, matched all five white-ball numbers, but missed the Mega Ball, which would have earned them the $50 million jackpot.

Because the ticket had a built-in 4x multiplier, quadrupling the prize.

The winning numbers were 5-10-23-27-30 with a Mega Ball of 10.

TRENDING STORIES:

Since no one took home the jackpot, it will grow to $60 million for Friday night’s drawing.

If that’s not enough cash to put in the bank, the Powerball jackpot is to $593 million for Wednesday night’s drawing.

You can catch both drawings LIVE on Channel 2 just before WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.
