Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold in West Virginia


A Powerball ticket worth $1 million dollars was sold in West Virginia ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing.
West Virginia Lottery officials confirmed the ticket was purchased in Winfield in Putnam County.  The store was not immediately identified.
As of Thursday evening, no one had yet claimed that prize, nor the $425 million jackpot — one of the largest in history.  A ticket that matched all of the numbers was sold at Dixon Landing Chevron in Milpitas, Ca. which is located near San Jose.
The winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were 01, 17, 35, 49, 54 and the Powerball was 34.
A ticket worth $2 million for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing was sold in Texas.

In addition to the one in West Virginia, other winning tickets worth $1 million — meaning they matched five numbers, but not the Powerball — were sold in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee.
