Winning Powerball ticket sold in Pennsylvania with $213.8 million prize
A lucky lottery player in Pennsylvania matched all six numbers Monday night to win the $213.8 million Powerball jackpot.
The winning numbers were white balls 9, 22, 57, 67, 68, and red Powerball 14, the lottery officials announced.
The jackpot has a cash value of $106.4 million.
It was not immediately clear where in Pennsylvania the winning ticket was sold.
The winner has not come forward.
Monday’s result marked the 20th time the Powerball jackpot has been won in Pennsylvania since the Powerball game began in 1992.
The ticket holder will now have a choice between the annuitized prize of $213.8 million or a lump sum payment of $106.4 million, the Powerball officials said.
The Monday drawing was the first Powerball jackpot victory since July 3, when the $139.3 million price was drawn in Ohio.
The drawing produced 346,939 winning tickets across the US, including eight tickets that won $50,000 prizes and two tickets that won $150,000 prizes.
The jackpot will now reset to $20 million. The next drawing is set for Wednesday, Aug. 14.
A New Jersey bus driver and avid lottery player was the lucky jackpot winner in June, when the grand total came in at $222.6 million.
Harish Patel, the store clerk who sold that winning ticket, said the winner was a “nice man” who came to his shop every day to spend almost $60 on lottery tickets.
