Powerball Tickets worth $1 Million each sold in Beaver, Schuylkill Counties

Two Powerball tickets worth $1 million each from the Dec. 22 drawing were sold at the following locations:

· Giant Eagle, 1600 W. State St., Baden, Beaver County;

· Stauffer’s One Stop, Main and Bridge Streets, Ringtown, Schuylkill County.

Each winning ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 01-18-35-39-44, but not the red Powerball 11, to win individual prizes of $1 million, less 25 percent federal withholding.

Each retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.

Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of either winner until each prize is claimed and each ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.

The Lottery encourages each holder of a 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.

Claims may be filed at Lottery headquarters Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices.
