$50K Powerball Double Play ticket sold at truck stop near Bay Bridge
STEVENSVILLE, MD – A Powerball player who stopped at a truck stop near the Bay Bridge left with a ticket worth $50,000, after matching numbers in the Jan. 6 Double Play drawing — a second chance game held just minutes after the regular Powerball draw.
The winning ticket was sold at the Sunoco Truck Stop located at 400 Thompson Creek Road in Stevensville, a frequent fueling spot for Eastern Shore commuters and truckers. The lucky numbers drawn in the Double Play were 15, 22, 39, 41, 62, and a Powerball of 9.
Unlike the main Powerball drawing, which has a minimum jackpot starting at $20 million, the Double Play feature gives players a shot at up to $10 million with an additional $1 wager. Saturday’s winner paid $3 for a ticket that included both drawings and walked away with a third-tier Double Play prize of $50,000.
The main Powerball jackpot, which was reset after a $1.8 billion ticket was sold in Arkansas on Christmas Eve, has climbed again and now stands at $105 million for the next drawing on Monday night. Though no Marylander has claimed the top prize recently, state officials say multiple second and third-tier wins remain unclaimed.
Maryland Lottery officials encourage players who purchased tickets in the Stevensville area to check their numbers carefully, especially those who opted for the Double Play add-on.
Powerball and Double Play drawings are held three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The $50,000 winner has 182 days from the draw date to claim their prize at one of the Maryland Lottery’s customer service centers.
