$2 million lottery ticket sold in Milford

MIDDLETOWN - One Powerball ticket worth $2 million from the April 7 drawing was sold at Xtra Mart, 114 W. Hartford St., Milford, Pike County.   The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 05-13-17-20-30, but not the red Powerball 18, and added Power Play®, which sets the prize at $2 million, less 25 percent federal withholding.

This is Pennsylvania's first $2 million match-five Power Play prize since enhancements to Powerball took effect in January. Before those changes, this prize would have been worth only $1 million.

The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling this winning ticket. Before the game was changed, it would have earned a $5,000 bonus corresponding with the smaller jackpot.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the April 7 winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery's seven area offices.
