Two Powerball tickets won $1 million each and narrowly missed the $116 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, June 29, according to the national Powerball site.

The $1 million tickets were sold in Indiana and New Jersey.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $125 million, with a cash value of $59.6 million, for the next drawing Monday, July 1, the site said.

The winning numbers were 26, 51, 54, 61 and 69, with a Powerball of 25.

Nearly 500,000 other tickets won prizes from $4 to $150,000 in the drawing.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
