There may be a number of other million-dollar winners who got the first five numbers right.
Powerball draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. The odds of winning the jackpot with a $2 ticket are 1 in 292,201,338. But unlike Saturday night’s drawing, that jackpot was shared by three winning tickets.
For now, lottery officials wait for the victor to come forward.
“They spent $6 to win $284 million”. “This is a life-changing event for the victor, and I hope this brings positive things for them”.
Lottery officials announced Sunday morning that a single winning ticket had, indeed, been sold in Mercer County, with the victor looking at a cool $429.5 million payoff.
The jackpot to this huge lottery game is always an awe-inspiring number, but many times, lottery players forget to buy tickets, or simply do not have time to get to a lottery ticket sales point to pick one up.
It was the seventh largest jackpot in the history of Powerball, according to Hedinger.
The victor and the retailer that sold the $429.6 million winning ticket will be added to the national lottery historical record. “Certainly though, we will be anxiously awaiting the phone call”. The owners of the store will receive $30,000 as a prize for selling the winning ticket, and plan to use the money to go on a trip to Alaska. Prizes are usually split between several individuals who manage to hit the winning lottery numbers. “But it was fun to think about cashing in the winning ticket”. “Instead, I won $2, which paid for this coffee”.
Powerball is played in 44 US states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
