Small town store sells big $150K Powerball winner

$150,000 Powerball ticket sold at small-town PA store after player hits big with Power Play

KNOX BORO, PA — A lucky lottery player scored a $150,000 Powerball prize after purchasing a winning ticket in Clarion County, officials said.

The ticket, sold at Choice on East State Street in Knox Boro, matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball in the March 18 drawing.

The winning numbers were 14, 18, 19, 21 and 69, with Powerball 1.

The prize was boosted to $150,000 thanks to the Power Play option. Without it, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play multiplier drawn was three.6

The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Lottery officials said winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Players have up to one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.

More than 17,600 other Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball tickets also won prizes in the drawing.

The Powerball jackpot has since rolled to an estimated $120 million annuity, or $54.6 million cash value, for the next drawing on March 21.
