BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô Luck has happened again in eastern Idaho. Someone who bought an Idaho Lottery Powerball ticket for last night's draw now has an early holiday present worth $200,000. The Idaho Lottery has confirmed that one ticket sold for last night's Powerball draw matched the first five numbers, but not the Powerball number itself. The winning ticket was sold at an Idaho Lottery retail location in Idaho Falls. The winning numbers from last night's Powerball draw were 13, 28, 49, 51, 59, and the Powerball was 33.

"Eastern Idaho continues to be a lucky place for Powerball players," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. "We are encouraging everyone who played Powerball for last night's draw to check their tickets carefully for winners. Too often we see players not match the Powerball and think they do not have a winning ticket. In this case, the ticket matched all five of the first numbers and is worth $200,000."

This is the tenth Powerball ticket sold in Idaho over the past two years to match the first five numbers and be worth at least $200,000. Seven of these winning tickets have been sold by Idaho Lottery retailers in eastern Idaho. Last night's winner has 180 days to claim their prize.

With no jackpot winner Saturday night, the Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night's draw is an estimated $104 million. The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday night's draw is an estimated $152 million.

"We are reminding players to please play responsibly," added Anderson. "Both Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots are over $100 million plus Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle tickets are on sale and selling quickly. When players do play, please play what you can afford, don't go overboard."

The Idaho Lottery is also reminding players to sign the back of all their tickets prior to presenting them for payment.
