you could still be a winner
People in the tristate (Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey) shouldn’t throw away their tickets just yet. You could still be a millionaire.
A ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched all five white balls (7, 10, 11, 13, 24) with the Power Play option selected to win $2 million. That ticket was sold at a Walmart at 20 Industrial Drive in DuBois, Clearfield County, toward the western part of the state, he said. the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Two tickets sold in New Jersey are among the 36 tickets sold nationwide that matched all five cue balls (7, 10, 11, 13, 24) without the power play option. Each of those is worth $1 million.
On Thursday at noon, the New Jersey Lottery revealed that both $1 million tickets were sold upstate:
- Metro Liquor at 100 Broadway in Elmwood Park, Bergen County
- Galaxy Liquors at 410-412 Central Ave. in Orange, Essex County
These million-dollar local winners come on the heels of someone buying a $1 million winner in Monday’s drawing at a Delaware County store.
Check your Wednesday drawing tickets to see if you won any lesser prizes. Over 2.4 million people at least doubled their $2 investment by playing Powerball to win $4.
