Someone in Albany County is Holding a Winning Powerball Ticket!

There was another lucky lottery winner in Albany County. The Powerball was $264 million, and although there was no jackpot winner, someone in Albany County was just one number off. This winning Powerball ticket is worth fifty thousand dollars.

The Winner Almost Hit the Actual Powerball!

Even though fifty thousand dollars is awesome, the winner could have walked away with two hundred sixty-four million dollars if it wasn't for just one number. The winning numbers were drawn on Saturday, August 19th. They were 1, 25, 27, 38, and 62 with the Powerball 13. The winner had four of the matching numbers plus the Powerball number. As impossible as that is to do, they only walk away with fifty grand.
