    A Powerball player just missed the $176 million jackpot but still won a big prize in Washington.

    The lottery player won $50,000 during the Sept. 18 drawing, according to Washington’s Lottery.

    They matched four white balls and the red Powerball, only missing one number. The winning numbers were 1, 11, 22, 47, 68 and 7.

    The player bought the ticket from a Circle K in Richland, which is in Benton County, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News by email Sept. 19.

    Six other players won $50,000.

    No one hit the jackpot, so it has grown to an estimated $195 million for the Saturday, Sept. 21, drawing. The cash value is $99.1 million.
