Ticket in California Wins $1.08 Billion Powerball® Jackpot

Middletown, PA – The Pennsylvania Lottery is recognizing five winning Powerball® tickets from the Wednesday, July 19 drawing that are worth a combined total of $2.4 million. This includes one prize worth $2 million sold in Clearfield County and four other prizes worth $100,000 each sold in Philadelphia, Lawrence, Clarion, and Bucks counties.
 
These tickets were sold in Pennsylvania leading up to the 39th draw in this historic Powerball® jackpot run, which ended when a single jackpot-winning ticket was sold in California. That ticket won the jackpot of $1.08 billion ($558.1 million cash), making it the third-largest Powerball® jackpot and sixth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

Congratulations to the retailer in Pennsylvania who earned a $10,000 bonus for selling the Powerball® with Power Play® $2 million-winning ticket. That retailer is:
  • Walmart, 20 Industrial Drive, DuBois, Clearfield County. 
Meanwhile, the retailers who sold the $100,000 Powerball® with Power Play® winning tickets each earned a $500 bonus. They are:
  • Wawa, 12004 East Roosevelt Boulevard, Philadelphia;
  • Ho Ho Food Mart, 701 East Lutton St., New Castle, Lawrence County;
  • Choice, 533 East State St., Knox, Clarion County; and
  • LUKOIL, 4613 Street Road, Trevose, Bucks County.
The $2 million-winning Powerball® with Power Play® ticket matched five of the five white balls drawn, 7-10-11-13-24, to win $2 million, less applicable withholding. The four $100,000 winning Powerball® with Power Play® tickets each matched four of the five white balls drawn and the red Powerball® 24 to win $100,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play® option, the $2 million-winning ticket would have been worth $1 million, and the $100,000 tickets would have been worth $50,000 each. The Power Play® multiplier drawn was two.
 
Prior to the drawing that produced the jackpot-winning ticket in California, the Powerball® jackpot had been rolling since April 19, 2023, when the jackpot was last won in Ohio. In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run has generated nearly $96 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $38 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
 
Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball® winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. Players may visit palottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.
 
More than 266,300 other PA Lottery Powerball® tickets won prizes of various amounts in Wednesday’s drawing, including more than 55,200 tickets purchased with Power Play® and more than 21,200 tickets purchased with Double Play®. Players should check every ticket, every time.
 
The Powerball jackpot has surpassed the $1 billion mark three times in the game’s history, including the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year, the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016, and Wednesday’s $1.08 billion jackpot-winning prize. 
 
Pennsylvania Lottery players have options to purchase their Powerball® tickets online or by visiting a retailer. Players can find lottery-selling locations closest to them by visiting the Find a Retailer section of the Lottery’s website.
