2 $1M Powerball Tickets Sold In MI: Here's Where They Were Sold
The winners now have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.
A pair of $1 million Powerball tickets were sold in Michigan over the weekend, according to lottery officials.
The tickets matched all five white numbers drawn (4-5-28-52-69) to win the $1 million prize in Saturday's drawing. If they had matched the red Powerball, then they would have won the $1.4 billion jackpot.
One ticket was sold at Mister A's Party Shoppe on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Farms, while the other was sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Ludington, according to lottery officials.
