While no one claimed the Powerball grand prize last night, three tickets sold in New York State matched enough numbers to claim some big-time money.

According to the New York State Lottery, three tickets sold in New York matched 4 out of 5 numbers and the Powerball number which means each ticket won $50,000.

Last night's winning Powerball numbers were 10-12-22-36-50 with the Powerball number of 4.
