$1 Million Lottery Ticket Sold In EG

Wednesday night's PowerBall drawing matched a ticket purchased at Lux Oil on South County Trail.


Happy news for a PowerBall ticket holder who bought his or her ticket at Lux Oil in East Greenwich this week – $1 million worth of happy news. The PowerBall drawing Wednesday night pulled two winning Rhode Island-purchased numbers, including the East Greenwich one.

The other prize, $10,000, is for a ticket purchased at Chelo's, 505 Silver Spring Street, Providence. As of 12:30 p.m. Thursday, neither prize had been claimed.

The $1 million ticket matched five numbers but not the PowerBall number, for the standard payout of $1 million, the Rhode Island Lottery announced Thursday. If the Power Play feature was added for an extra dollar, the prize would have doubled.
