$1M Powerball Ticket Sold In Bucks County

A Bucks County retailer sold a $1 million-winning Powerball ticket recently, according to lottery officials.

The 7-Eleven at 1483 W. Street Road in Warminster was one of four Pennsylvania retailers to sell $1 million winning tickets.

The four $1 million winning tickets matched five of the five white balls drawn, which were 7, 26, 16, 23, 6, Powerball 4.

In Pennsylvania, there were more than 485,000 winners of nearly $13 million in the Wednesday Powerball drawing – including one $2 million winner and four winners of $1 million, according to lottery officials.

There were also four winners of $200,000 and 14 winners of $50,000 among hundreds of thousands of other winners.

In Pennsylvania, the winning ticket worth $2 million matched five of the white balls drawn and was purchased with the Power Play option, which boosted the prize to $2 million instead of $1 million, according
to lottery officials.

That ticket was sold by Fresh & Quick, 245 Main St., Catawissa, Columbia County.

The $758.7 million Powerball jackpot was won in Massachusetts.
