Winning $1 Million Powerball Ticket Sold in Monroeville

Someone in the Plum-Oakmont area could be $1 million richer after a winning Powerball jackpot ticket was sold in Monroeville, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery.

Sheetz at 2100 Mosside Boulevard in Monroeville sold one of two winning tickets from the Saturday, May 11 lottery drawing. The other ticket was sold in Chambersburg, Franklin County.

The two winning Powerball tickets each correctly matched all five white balls, 06-13-19-23-43, but not the red Powerball 16, to win individual prizes of $1 million, less 25 percent federal withholding.

Each retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of either winner until each prize is claimed and each ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Powerball jackpot also grew to an estimated annuity value of $350 million, or $222.8 million, for the Wednesday, May 15, drawing.

Tickets for Powerball are available until 9:59 p.m. on drawing nights.
