Wamego Woman $50K Powerball Winner
01/12/2016

(KMZA)--It may have not been the big jackpot, but a Wamego woman won $50,000 in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing.

The woman came forward Monday to claim her prize after she matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing.

The winning ticket was sold by Red Raider Express in Wamego.

Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night’s drawing is now estimated at $1.5 billion, with a cash option of $930 million.

If the jackpot was hit by a single ticket sold in Kansas, and the winner chose the cash option, he or she would get a huge payout even after taxes.  After paying 25 percent in federal tax and 5 percent in state tax, a Kansas winner would receive a payment of $651 million
