$1 million Powerball ticket sold in Phoenix; 3 others win $50K in Arizona
Four Arizonans won big on Wednesday's Powerball drawing with a $1 million ticket — three others won $50,000 each, Arizona Lottery said.
The jackpot cash prize of $632.6 million was split between two winning tickets sold in California and in Wisconsin, according to Sue Kern-Fleischer, a spokesperson with the Arizona Lottery.
One winning ticket holder will receive $1 million after purchasing a ticket at a Circle K in Phoenix (13802 N. 40th St.) that matched 5 of the Powerball's 6 winning numbers: 6, 14, 25, 33, 46 with Powerball number 17.
Three other winning tickets were also sold in Arizona: one in Mesa at Carioca 73 (1166 N. Higley Rd.), another in Avondale at Fiesta Barn Market (12301 W Buckeye Rd.) and the last one in Phoenix at Fry's Food and Drug (520 E Baseline Rd). The winners will each receive a $50,000 cash prize, after matching 4 Powerball numbers.
The identity of the ticketholders in Arizona has not been shared as they can choose to remain anonymous.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is 1 in 292 million. In contrast, a study from the Florida Museum of Natural History found that the odds of being attacked by a shark are 1 in 3.7 million.
