It wasn’t the jackpot, but a Powerball ticket that won a decent chunk of money Monday was sold at a South Huntingdon retailer.
Pennsylvania Lottery officials said the ticket worth $150,000 in Monday’s drawing was sold at Pilot Travel Center, which earns a $500 bonus. The ticket matched four of five white balls drawn and the red Powerball and carried a Power Play option which multiplied the prize.
Since no one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot Monday, the top prize climbed to $1.2 billion, the fourth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, according to the Associated Press. If no one wins the prize in Wednesday’s drawing, the jackpot, which grows after every drawing without a winner, could become the largest ever.
The record $1.586 billion was won by three Powerball players in 2016, the news outlet reported. The odds of winning a jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
