Ticket in California Wins $1.76 Billion Powerball® Jackpot

Middletown, PA – The Pennsylvania Lottery is recognizing two winning Powerball® with Power Play® tickets from the Wednesday, October 11 drawing that are worth a combined total of $2.1 million. This includes one prize worth $2 million sold by a Lottery retailer in Bucks County and one prize worth $100,000 awarded to a player who bought the ticket online in Allegheny County.
 
Congratulations to American News & Tobacco, 522 Second St. Pike, Southampton, Bucks County, which earned a $10,000 bonus for selling the Powerball® with Power Play® $2 million-winning ticket.

The $2 million-winning Powerball® with Power Play® ticket matched five of the five white balls drawn, 22-24-40-52-64, to win $2 million, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play® option, the ticket would have been worth $1 million.

Additionally, the $100,000 winning Powerball® with Power Play® prize matched four of the five white balls drawn and red Powerball® 10, to win $100,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play® option, the prize would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play® multiplier drawn was two.
These winning tickets were sold in Pennsylvania leading up to the 36th 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 $1.76 billion ($774.1 million cash), making it the second-largest Powerball® jackpot and second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.

More than 286,700 other PA Lottery Powerball® tickets won prizes of various amounts in Wednesday’s drawing, including more than 60,400 tickets purchased with Power Play® and more than 23,200 tickets purchased with Double Play®. Players should check every ticket, every time.
 
The Powerball® jackpot had been rolling since July 22, 2023, when it was also last won in California. In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run has generated more than $135 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $54 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
 
The Powerball® jackpot reset to an estimated annuity value of $20 million, or $8.8 million cash, for the next drawing Saturday, October 14.
 
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.
 
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.
