    A Powerball player just missed the $197 million jackpot but still won a big prize in Washington.

    The lottery player won $50,000 during the Sept. 21 drawing, according to Washington’s Lottery.

    They matched four white balls and the red Powerball, only missing one number. The winning numbers were 17, 19, 21, 37, 45, with a Powerball of 14.

    The player bought the ticket from Yoke’s Fresh Market in Spokane, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News by email Sept. 23.

    No one hit the jackpot, so it has grown to an estimated $208 million for the Monday, Sept. 23, drawing. The cash value is $104.6 million.
