Powerball Jackpot: $310M Ticket Sold By Michigan Lottery At Gas Station In Three Rivers
The winning ticket to a $310.5 million Powerball jackpot was sold in southwestern Michigan, officials said in a statement late Wednesday. The winning ticket in Wednesday night’s drawing was sold at a gas station in Three Rivers, the Associated Press reported, citing Michigan Lottery spokesman Jeff Holyfield.
The winning numbers Wednesday night were 21, 39, 40, 55, 59, with the Powerball of 17, and Power Play of 3. The winner will reportedly receive an amount of $191.4 million after taxes if the jackpot is claimed as a lump sum.
"The winner or winners would need to contact us during business hours, which are 7:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.," Holyfield said in an email to NBC News. The "last big winner we had didn't contact us for a month so she could line up a financial planner [and] lawyer."
In February, three players from North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas split the Powerball jackpot worth $564 million. The tickets matched the winning numbers 25, 11, 54, 13 and 39, and the Powerball number 19.
The two biggest Powerball jackpot winners have been Gloria Mackenzie of Zephyrhills, Florida, who won $590.5 million in May 2013, and Matthew Good of Phoenix, and Cindy and Mark Hill of Dearborn, Missouri, who split a $587.5 million jackpot in November 2012.
