$1M Powerball Ticket Sold In FL; $1.3B Ticket Sold In OR

CLEARWATER, FL — While the jackpot-winning ticket in the weekend’s Powerball drawing was sold in Oregon, someone in Florida is $1 million richer.

A single ticket sold in Portland matched all six numbers drawn - 22, 27, 44, 52 and 69 - as well as the red Powerball 9 to take home the $1.326-billion jackpot, the fourth-largest in Powerball history. The PowerPlay multiplier was 3X.

The drawing, which was scheduled for Saturday night, took place Sunday at 2:29 a.m. Eastern Standard Time because one state lottery needed additional time to complete the required pre-draw procedures, according to a Powerball news release.

In Florida, the $1 million-winning ticket, which matched all five white balls, was sold at the Circle K at 5025 Tampa Road in Oldsmar, Fox 35 reported.

The Powerball drawing had more than 4.5 million winning tickets, including seven $1 million prizes. In addition to Florida, these $1 million-winning tickets were sold in Arizona, Delaware, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan and Wyoming.

This was the second time the Powerball jackpot has been hit this year. The jackpot was previously won on New Year’s Day in Michigan by a ticket that won a $842.4 million jackpot.

The next Powerball drawing, which has an estimated jackpot of $20 million, will take place Monday at 10:59 p.m. from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Powerball tickets are $2 to play and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
