$150K-Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia business recently sold a Powerball with Power Play ticket that was good for $150,000, Pennsylvania Lottery officials said.

According to officials, the ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 9-31-39-40-45, and the red Powerball 23 to win $150,000, less applicable withholding, in Monday's drawing.

Without the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play multiplier drawn was three.

It was sold by TNT Food Market, 5801 Market St. in Philadelphia.

The market will earn a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated.
