$150k powerball ticket sold at food express in west nanticoke — Poweball Ticket - Stock Photo

A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Luzerne County sold a Powerball with Power Play ticket worth $150,000 for the Saturday, September 25 drawing. The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 22-23-37-62-63, and the red Powerball 19 to win $150,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play multiplier drawn was three.

Food Express, 77 Allen St., West Nanticoke, earns a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact the nearest Lottery office.

More than 97,700 other PA Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 21,100 tickets purchased with Power Play and more than 8,700 tickets purchased with Double Play. Players should check every ticket, every time.

The Powerball® jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $545 million, or $392.1 million cash, for the next drawing on Monday, September 27.
