$1M Powerball Ticket Sold in Bethlehem Township

It wasn’t a share of the $448 million jackpot, but a convenience store in the Miller Heights section of Bethlehem Township sold a Powerball ticket that is worth $1 million as a result of Wednesday night’s drawing.

The Friendly Food Market at 3750 Freemansburg Ave. sold the ticket, according to Pennsylvania Lottery officials.

The ticket’s buyer correctly matched all five white balls—05-25-30-58-59, but not the red Powerball 32. The market will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Two of three jackpot winning tickets were sold in New Jersey. The other was sold in Minnesota.

In a news release, the Pennsylvania Lottery said it “encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County, or at any of Lottery’s seven area offices.”

The closest area office is at 44 E. Broad St. in Bethlehem.

More than 263,700 other tickets sold in Pennsylvania won prizes of up to $40,000 in the Wednesday drawing, so all players are reminded to always check their tickets, Lottery officials said.
