LANCASTER, Pa. — A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Lancaster County sold a winning Powerball ticket worth $150,000 from last Saturday's drawing, the Lottery announced Monday.
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn (30-31-41-42-48) and the red Powerball (3) to win the prize, less applicable withholding. If the buyer had not used the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000, according to the Lottery.
The Power Play Multiplier was three, the Lottery said.
A Turkey Hill store on the 1500 block of Millport Road in Lancaster earned a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket, according to the Lottery.
Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact the nearest Lottery office.
More than 25,500 other PA Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 7,000 tickets purchased with Power Play, and more than 3,000 tickets purchased with Double Play.
Players should check every ticket, every time, the Lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $65 million, or $46 million cash, for the next drawing, which is set for tonight.
