The Powerball jackpot has grown to $403 million for Wednesday's drawing, but someone who bought a ticket at a convenience store in Ohio Township already is $2 million richer.
The ticket, sold at a Sheetz on Mt. Nebo Road, matched all five white balls — 3, 7, 9, 31, 33 — but not the red Powerball drawn Saturday, Pennsylvania Lottery officials said Tuesday. Because the ticket was purchased with a power-play option, the winnings increased to $2 million from $1 million.
The store receives a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The ticket holder has one year from the date of the drawing to claim the prize, officials said.
More than 101,000 Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes in the Feb. 18 drawing, officials said.
