Thinking about playing tonight's Powerball? Last weekend's only $1M winner was sold in a Massachusetts 7-Eleven.
MARBLEHEAD, MA — Days before the biggest Powerball jackpot in months, lottery officials were still unsure of who a $1 million Powerball winner was.

The winning numbers for Jan. 11's drawing were 3 21 23 31 59, and the Powerball was 3. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
