Powerball Ticket Worth $50,000 Sold at Small Central Maine Store

According to an article on the WMTW website, another Powerball ticket worth $50,000 has been sold in Maine.

The Maine Lottery says the winning ticket from Wednesday night’s drawing was sold at Gary’s Quick Stop in Richmond. The ticket matched four of the five white balls and the red Power Ball.

No one hit the Powerball jackpot Wednesday night, which means it will grow to an estimated $48 million for Saturday’s drawing.

The winning numbers were 10, 21, 58, 61 and 64, with a Power Ball of 17.

There were eight $50,000 tickets sold nationwide in Wednesday’s drawing. Two additional tickets were worth $100,000 because they included the Power Play option.

It’s been a busy stretch for Powerball winners in Maine. About a week ago, another $50,000 ticket was sold at Market Basket in Topsham. A few weeks before that, a $50,000 ticket was sold in Wells.

A $50,000 Powerball ticket was also recently sold in New Hampshire.

For now, Maine has another winning ticket to track down. The lucky Richmond ticket holder has yet to claim the $50,000 prize.

Has There Ever Been a Powerball Jackpot Winner in Maine?

Nope.  Not yet.  There are several reasons for that, though.  As a rural state, there are fewer tickets sold in Maine than in many of the other states where the game is played.

On top of that, Powerball has only been available in the state for a few decades.  It has been available in other states for much longer.
