2 winning Powerball tickets sold in Arizona
Wednesday's Powerball drawing is right around the corner, but two Arizona lottery players may want to cash out now.
Officials with the Arizona Lottery announced Tuesday morning that a pair of winning Powerball tickets were sold in Arizona ahead of last night's drawing, each amounting to $100,000 after both tickets opted for the Powerplay.
The tickets were purchased at different locations, one at a Safeway in Cave Creek and the other at a Circle K in Phoenix. Had the players not chosen to Powerplay, their winnings would've amounted to $50,000.
The Powerball jackpot still remains up for grabs, however, climbing to its eighth-largest value in the history of the game at $653 million (with a $350.5 million cash option).
The next drawing will be held Wednesday night.
