Powerball ticket worth two million dollars sold in Berks County

Middletown, PA – A routine lottery purchase in Berks County has turned into a multimillion-dollar mystery after a Powerball ticket sold locally matched five numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing.

The Pennsylvania Lottery announced that a Powerball ticket with Power Play worth $2 million was sold for the Wednesday drawing. The winning ticket matched all five white balls — 27, 29, 30, 37, and 58 — securing a $2 million prize, less applicable withholding. Without the Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $1 million.

The ticket was sold at Redner’s Warehouse Markets, located at 1179 Ben Franklin Highway West in Amity Township. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Lottery officials said winners are not identified until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Powerball winners in Pennsylvania have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize. Retail-purchased tickets should be signed immediately, while online winnings are credited after claims are processed.

In addition to the top prize, more than 16,000 other Powerball tickets sold across Pennsylvania won prizes of various amounts in the same drawing. That total included more than 3,900 tickets purchased with Power Play and more than 2,700 tickets purchased with Double Play.

The Powerball jackpot rolled over to an estimated annuity value of $102 million, or $46.1 million cash, for the next drawing scheduled for Saturday.
