PHILADELPHIA, PA — Excitement is in the air for Pennsylvania Lottery enthusiasts as a Philadelphia retailer sold a Powerball ticket worth a staggering $1 million. This winning ticket, sold by Sak Traders Inc. located at 3670 Richmond Street, matched all five white ball numbers drawn on Monday, September 23—15, 21, 25, 37, and 45—missing only the red Powerball number 19. The retailer benefits from this stroke of luck, receiving a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
As the identity of the lucky winner remains a mystery until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated, lottery officials remind all players to sign the back of their tickets immediately. Winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prizes. For those using online platforms, any winnings will be automatically credited to their accounts following the claim process.
Beyond the million-dollar winner, more than 26,700 other Pennsylvania Lottery players took home various prizes from this draw. This includes over 5,300 tickets purchased with the Power Play option and more than 3,100 tickets with Double Play, further intensifying the anticipation and excitement.
With the Powerball jackpot rolling over, players now have their eyes on the next draw, set for today, September 25, featuring an estimated annuity value of $223 million or a cash option of $112.2 million. Pennsylvania Lottery officials encourage all participants to check their tickets carefully and often, as even smaller prizes can turn a regular day into an extraordinary one.
