ST. LOUIS -- A suburban St. Louis real estate agent didn't win the record Powerball jackpot earlier this month, but the runner-up prize was pretty good, too.
The Missouri Lottery on Tuesday introduced 26-year-old Jamie Bone as the winner of a $1 million Powerball prize. Bone bought a Quick Pick ticket for the drawing that eventually reached $590.5 million at Sam's Liquor & Convenience.
She matched all five white-ball numbers to win the million-dollar prize. Bone was one of two winners in Missouri to match all five white-ball numbers in the May 18 drawing. The other ticket was sold in Doniphan.
The prize is paid in a lump sum, so Bone will get $710,000 after taxes.
