No one won the $1.7 billion grand prize in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing.
But, some Pennsylvania residents could be a little bit richer today.
Lottery officials announced that 11 winning tickets in the most recent Powerball drawing were sold in Pennsylvania for a total of $2.4 million in prizes.
Officials said the prizes broke down like this:
- One prize worth $1 million sold in Allegheny County
- One prize worth $500,000 sold in Centre County
- Nine prizes worth $100,000 sold in various parts of the Commonwealth
The $1 million winning ticket was sold by Center Independent Oil, located at 1980 Painters Run Road, in Scott Township, Allegheny County.
That ticket, lottery officials said, matched five of the five white balls drawn, 3-16-29-61-69, to win $1 million.
The retailer will earn a $5,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
Lottery officials also said GIANT Food Stores, located at 2121 South Atherton St., College Township, in Centre County, sold a $500,000-winning Powerball with Double Play ticket.
The retailer will earn a $500 bonus for selling that ticket, lottery officials said.
The retailers who sold the winning $100,000 tickets will each earn a $500 bonus. They are:
- C.J. Lee’s Food Market, 4716 Greene St. in Philadelphia

In Pennsylvania the recent jackpot run has generated more than $105 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $42 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians, lottery officials said in a statement.
The last time a Powerball jackpot was won in Pennsylvania was on August 12, 2024.
