Four Pennsylvania Lottery players win more than $3 million in Powerball drawing, jackpot still up for grabs
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Make sure you're checking those tickets because four Pennsylvania Lottery winners may not have won the billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, but they walked away with some serious cash.
Most of the prize money was won in eastern Pennsylvania, with one ticket worth $2 million sold in Luzerne County at a Wilkes-Barre CITGO and another being sold at a United Food Market in Philadelphia worth $1 million.
The CITGO will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket and the United Food Market will receive a $5,000 bonus.
Here in the Pittsburgh area, a Rite Aid on Atwood Street sold a winning ticket worth $100,000.
