Powerball ticket sold at Philly gas station wins $1M

A ticket sold at a Philadelphia gas station won $1 million in Saturday's Powerball drawing.

A ticket sold at a Philadelphia gas station won $1 million in Saturday's Powerball drawing.

The ticket matched all five white balls drawn (8, 10, 26, 27 and 33) but missed the Powerball of 22.

The winner was sold at the Sunoco A Plus  at 1560 Cottman Ave., Pennsylvania Lottery officials said. The station gets a $5,000 bonus.

The ticketholder has one year from the drawing date to claim the prize.

The Powerball jackpot, which stood at $54 million in Saturday's game, rises to $67 million, or $40.4 million cash, for Wednesday's drawing after no one won the top prize.

A Louisiana player won $2 million on Saturday, while tickets sold in Georgia and North Carolina also won $1 million each.

In other lottery news:

- In Mega Millions, the other major multi-state game, no one hit the jackpot Friday so the top prize for Tuesday's drawing stands at $35 million for the annuity or $21 million for the cash option.

- Also over the weekend, a ticket sold at a Wawa in Lancaster County won $325,000 in a Pennsylvania Cash 5 drawing. The ticket, sold at the convenience store at 602 S. Reading Road in Ephrata, matched all five numbers picked Sunday: 8, 17, 26, 30 and 33. The Wawa gets a $500 bonus.
