PHILADELPHIA (AP) – No one in Pennsylvania won the record-setting Powerball jackpot, but three tickets worth $1 million were sold around the state.

Officials say two other stores in the state also sold million dollar tickets.
The winning numbers drawn last night were 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and the Powerball number was 10. The odds of picking the correct combination were 1 in 292 million. Cheering crowds swarmed the suburban Los Angeles store and its parking lot late on Wednesday.
At the start of January, the grand prize was (only!) $400 million.
The victor of the $1.5 billion jackpot may be a registered nurse at a nursing home in Pomona.
Employees said just under 18,000 tickets were purchased, but not all from one location.
Walker matched all five numbers, but he did not pick the winning Powerball, which qualifies him for a $1 million prize – but with a $1 Power Play add-on, he increased his winnings to $2 million.
They may not have won the $1.6 billion jackpot prize, but several people in Kansas and Missouri won some money from the Powerball drawing.
For every $1 worth of Powerball sales, half goes to prizes, 40 percent to causes such as education, and 10 percent to retailers who sell the tickets and other administrative costs, Grief said.
No one in La Plata County became a multimillionaire in Wednesday’s record-breaking Powerball drawing, but someone who bought a ticket in Durango is $50,000 richer. Lottery fever gripped the United States, with people forming long lines outside stores to buy tickets and then frantically checking their $2 slips to see if they had hit the mammoth jackpot. These tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball number.
The unknown store in Munford, Tennessee won $25,000 and the Publix in Melbourne, Florida will get $100,000. Assuming all three winners step forward to claim the prize.
