2 Pittsburgh-Area Powerball Players Big Winners In Weekend Drawing

PITTSBURGH, PA — Two retailers in the Pittsburgh area sold Powerball tickets each worth $100,000, for the Saturday Sept. 6 drawing. Another business in Lackwanna County also sold a winning ticket for that amount.

The winning tickets in Allegheny County were sold at the Giant Eagle in McCandless and the GetGo in Richland. Each will receive $500 for selling the winners.

The winning tickets were sold leading up to the 42nd draw in this historic Powerball jackpot run, which ended when two jackpot-winning tickets were sold in Missouri and Texas. Those tickets will split the jackpot of $1.787 billion ($820.6 million cash); the second-largest Powerball® jackpot and second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

Each ticket holder will have the choice between an annuitized prize of $893.6 million or lump sum payment of $410.3 million.

The three Pennsylvania $100,000 winning Powerball with Power Play tickets each matched four of the five white balls drawn, 11-23-44-61-62, and the red Powerball® 17 to win $100,000, less applicable withholding.

Prior to the drawing that produced the jackpot-winning tickets in Missouri and Texas, the Powerball® jackpot had been rolling since May 31, 2025, when the jackpot was last won in California. The last time a Powerball jackpot was won in Pennsylvania was on August 12, 2024.

In Pennsylvania the recent jackpot run generated more than $130 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $52 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.

More than 472,700 other PA Lottery Powerball® tickets won prizes of various amounts in Saturday’s drawing, including more than 97,400 tickets purchased with Power Play® and more than 47,700 tickets purchased with Double Play. Players should check every ticket, every time.
