Middletown, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Philadelphia sold a Powerball® with Power Play® ticket worth $250,000 for the Monday, March 11 drawing, as the jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $559 million, or $273.3 million cash, for the next drawing on Wednesday, March 13.
 
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 1-3-7-16-66, and the red Powerball® 5 to win $250,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play® option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play® multiplier drawn was five.
 
Sunoco, 4001 Woodhaven Road, Philadelphia, earns a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
 
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 41,300 other PA Lottery Powerball® tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 9,800 tickets purchased with Power Play® and more than 4,600 tickets purchased with Double Play®. Players should check every ticket, every time.
 
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.
