Middle River Store Sells Secondary Powerball Winner

Nobody in Maryland won the top prize of $587.5 million in last month's record Powerball drawing, but there were plenty of winners—including someone who purchased a ticket in Middle River.

A $10,000 third-tier-winning ticket was sold at Compass Express in Middle River.

It was one of 10 tickets sold in Maryland that garnered the $10,000 prize. Another ticket was sold in Towson, and two were sold in Baltimore City. The $10,000 jackpot for a ticket sold at a 7-Eleven in Hamilton in Baltimore City was unclaimed as of Wednesday morning.

Third-tier winning tickets sold at a 7-Eleven in Germantown and a Stop 4 All in Fort Washington were also unclaimed.

An Edgewood woman won a $2 million prize—the largest sum by a Maryland player during the record drawing.

"It’s important for players to check their tickets before throwing them away," Maryland Lottery Director of Communications Carole Everett said in a statement Wednesday. "There are plenty of other prizes beside the jackpot which are still substantial."
