Powerball ticket worth $100K sold in Wind Gap
A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Northampton County sold a Powerball® with Power Play® ticket worth $100,000 for the Oct. 4 drawing.
The ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, 12-22-54-66-69, and the red Powerball® 15 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.
Kavi Tobacco Corp., 501 E. Moorestown Road #5, Wind Gap, earns a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
