A Powerball player in New Hampshire won $2 million in the game’s latest drawing.

The player’s ticket matched five of the winning numbers, but missed the Powerball in the May 31 drawing, according to the Powerball website.

The winning numbers were 1, 29, 37, 56, 68 and Powerball 13.

The player added the Power Play, doubling the win from $1 million to $2 million.

The $204.5 million jackpot was won by a California player, and one other player in Florida also matched five numbers, winning $2 million by using the Power Play.

The Powerball jackpot is now set back to an estimated $20 million, with a cash option of about $9 million, for the next drawing on June 2.

What to know about Powerball

To score the 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.
