3 tickets in Pennsylvania win $1M in Powerball
No one in the Lehigh Valley hit the big jackpot in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing but someone has come away with a $1 million ticket.
One of six $100,000 tickets – matching four white balls and the Powerball while selecting power play – was sold at Blue Valley Lanes at Route 33 and 512.
Another was purchased at the Sunoco on Easton Road in Horsham, Montgomery County. The other two were sold in Chester and Lancaster counties.
There were five $1 million tickets sold in NY and another three in Pennsylvania.
In New Jersey, two tickets matched all five white balls but missed the Powerball.
At least three people in three different states were even luckier, winning a portion of the record $1.6 billion jackpot.
A $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at a Lower Nazareth Township convenience store and a $100,000 ticket was sold at a Plainfield Township bowling alley, the Pennsylvania Lottery reports.
Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The retailers that the second-tier tickets were reportedly sold at was a Wawa in Frederick, a Walker Hill Amoco in Capitol Heights, and a 7-11 in Bladensburg. The winners’ identities are still a mystery, but the winning tickets were sold in Florida, Tennessee and a Los Angeles suburb.
