UPDATE: Winner claims $50,000 Powerball prize sold in Bismarck
A North Dakota Powerball player visited the North Dakota Lottery office to claim the $50,000 Powerball prize won on Wednesday night’s draw. The lucky winner from Bismarck, who chose to remain anonymous, hit it big with a quick pick ticket. The lucky winner had no idea the ticket had won big, initially thinking it was only worth a few hundred dollars. Much to his surprise, he was holding the $50,000 winning ticket. The winner has no immediate plans for the winnings, as he is still trying to wrap his head around the fact he won tens-of-thousands of dollars.
The Powerball jackpot for the Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021, draw is $116 million.

North Dakota Powerball players continue their lucky streak, as another player won big. A $50,000 Powerball ticket for Wednesday night’s (Oct. 27, 2021) draw won by matching four white balls and the Powerball. The winning numbers were 3, 6, 26, 35, 51 and the Powerball was 17.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Stamart in Bismarck. The retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus commission for selling the large tier ticket. No one has contacted the Lottery office to claim the prize.
