A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Wernersville sold a Powerball with Power Play ticket worth $100,000 for the Monday, April 1 drawing, as the jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $1.09 billion, or $527.3 million cash, for the next drawing Wednesday, April 3.
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 19-24-40-42-56, and the red Powerball 23 to win $100,000, less applicable withholding. Without the $1 Power Play option, the ticket would have been worth $50,000. The Power Play multiplier drawn was two.
South Mountain Beer Distributing, 5104 Penn Avenue, Wernersville, will earn a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
