What are your chances of winning any prize on the Powerball game?
Powerball is a popular lottery game around the U.S. but winning isn’t easy.
CHIPPEWA TWP. ― For the second time in a week, a Powerball-winning ticket has been sold in Beaver County, just across the street from the previous winner.
The Pennsylvania Lottery announced that a winning ticket was sold at the Chippewa Township Walmart, 100 Chippewa Towne Centre, in the Dec. 17 drawing for $200,000. A ticket worth $2 million was sold at the Sheetz across Route 51 from the Dec. 13 drawing.
The Walmart ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 25-33-53-62-66, and the red Powerball 17 to win $200,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play multiplier drawn was four. This retailer will earn a $500 bonus for selling the ticket, according to a release from the lottery.
The Powerball jackpot is now offering players a chance to win a historic prize worth $1.5 billion or $686.5 million cash in the Dec. 20 drawing.
Saturday’s jackpot ranks as the fifth largest in the Powerball game and the seventh largest among U.S. lottery jackpots.
In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run has generated nearly $100 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $40 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
