Meanwhile, a north Phoenix Powerball ticket earned its purchaser a $50,000 prize on Saturday.

The entry from the Sons Food Store near Shea Boulevard and 32nd Street matched four of the five white numbers drawn – 10, 45, 48, 58 and 61 — plus the red Powerball of 2.

The odds of hitting that combination in Powerball are 1 in more than 900,000. Drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Each entry costs $2.

Powerball is sanctioned in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Saturday’s winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
