(Lower Merion Township, PA) Someone recently bought a Pennsylvania lottery ticket for Monday’s drawing of the Pennsylvania Lottery in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania outside Philadelphia at an Acme supermarket and won $1 million. According to Pennsylvania Lottery officials, that ticket matched all five white balls drawn on Monday, which were 8, 23, 25, 40 and 53. 5 was the number of the red Powerball for that drawing. This happened not long after a resident of Pennsylvania won $1 million on a Powerball ticket for Saturday’s Powerball drawing. According to Pennsylvania Lottery officials, a $1 million winning ticket was sold at a Turkey Hill store in Pequea Township of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The winning numbers that this person matched despite not matching the red Powerball 17 for Saturday’s drawing were 3, 18, 22, 27 and 33. According to the Powerball’s official website, the jackpot for the Powerball drawing today is estimated at $1.3 billion with a cash value of $589 million. It is unclear what part of Pennsylvania the first winner is from and it is unclear where the other winner is from at this time, but this second winner was in Pennsylvania when that person became a Powerball ticket winner.
