Powerball® Ticket Worth $1 Million Sold in Northumberland County
| 30 May 2012 |
MIDDLETOWN, Pa., May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One Powerball ticket worth $1 million from the May 26 drawing was sold at Turkey Hill, 140 W. Lincoln St., Shamokin, Northumberland County.
The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 13-14-41-49-59, but not the red Powerball 14, for a $1 million second-tier prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.
The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery's seven area offices.
Claims may be filed at headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.
The Powerball jackpot grew to an estimated annuity value of $146 million, or $95.4 million cash, for the Wednesday, May 30 drawing.
In the 2010-11 fiscal year, in addition to awarding nearly $21.9 million in prizes to Northumberland County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed nearly $12.7 million to programs serving Northumberland County's older residents.
How to play Powerball: Players pay $2 and select five white balls from the first set of 59 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 35 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball playslip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.
Powerball tickets are sold in 44 participating jurisdictions. Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
