A Powerball ticket sold in Sunrise won $1 million, just missing the $1.6 billion jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing on Monday, Dec. 22, the Florida Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was purchased at the Key Food supermarket at 8251 Sunset Strip, lottery officials said in an email.

The winning numbers were 3, 18, 36, 41 and 54 with a Powerball of 7. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Tickets sold in New York (two), Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin also matched five winning numbers to win $1 million each.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $1.7 billion, with a cash value of about $781.3 million, for the next drawing on Wednesday, Dec. 24, the national Powerball site said.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
