Middletown, PA – Before the Powerball® jackpot rolled to $415 million for the Saturday, May 7, drawing, one winning Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball with Power Play® ticket worth $150,000 from the Wednesday, May 4, drawing was sold at E Fuel at Route 534 and I-80, White Haven, Luzerne County.
The ticket correctly matched four of the five white balls drawn, 30-47-57-66-69, and the red Powerball 03, to win $150,000, less applicable tax withholding. It was sold with the $1 Power Play® option, which boosted the prize to $150,000 instead of $50,000 because Wednesday’s multiplier was three.
The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
