ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. — A Powerball with Power Play ticket worth $100,000 from Saturday night's drawing was sold in Lancaster County, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced Monday.
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn (2-9-43-55-57) and the red Powerball 18 to win $100,000, less applicable withholding, the Lottery said.
Without the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000, according to the Lottery. The Power Play multiplier drawn was two.
GIANT Food Stores, located at 1278 South Market St. in Elizabethtown, earned a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket, the Lottery said.
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.
Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. Players may visit PALottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.

The Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $900 million, or $465.1 million cash, for the next drawing tonight, July 17.
