$2 million Powerball ticket sold at busy Philly ShopRite

Philadelphia shopper wins $2 million Powerball prize with ticket sold at ShopRite

Philadelphia, PA – A Powerball ticket sold at a ShopRite in Philadelphia has turned into a $2 million payday for one lucky player, after matching all but one number in Saturday night’s drawing.

The ticket, sold at ShopRite of Fox Street located at 2800 Fox St., matched four of the five white balls—3, 11, 27, 40, and 58—plus the red Powerball number 10. Because the player added the $1 Power Play option, the prize doubled from $1 million to $2 million. The Power Play multiplier for that drawing was three.

The ShopRite location will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the high-tier winning ticket. The identity of the winner is currently unknown, as Pennsylvania Lottery policy does not confirm winners until tickets are validated and prizes are claimed.

Powerball prizes must be claimed within one year of the drawing date, and players are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately. Online tickets are automatically credited once verified.

This winning ticket was one of more than 31,000 sold in Pennsylvania that earned prizes in Saturday’s drawing. Over 6,700 of those included Power Play and more than 4,200 were purchased with Double Play. The Powerball jackpot has now grown to an estimated $304 million for tonight’s drawing.

Players are urged to check every ticket, every time.
