A tidy sum of $50,000 is now waiting for the lucky Powerball Double Play ticket holder after a winning ticket was sold in Decatur, Indiana, bringing some excitement to the small-town Casey's gas station at 1321 W. Adams St. The fortunate numbers drawn on Saturday night were 12-20-26-38-40 with the Powerball of 5, as confirmed by the WISH-TV report.
While the jackpot wasn't hit this time around, officials are reminding anyone who played the Powerball to check their tickets especially if they visited Casey’s #3678 as someone's about to be quite a bit richer—and also while being responsible if you're the lucky winner remember to secure your ticket, perhaps chat with a financial advisor, and the Hoosier Lottery customer service team is all hands on deck at 1-800-955-6886 for claim instructions, according to the details provided by WTHR.
If you've tossed your ticket onto the dashboard, slid it into a book, or otherwise left it to chance, time to retrieve it and see if you're the newly minted $50,000 winner. The Hoosier Lottery also offers a free mobile app to easily check your tickets, a convenience mentioned by WISH-TV.
As the Powerball jackpot continues its ascent, totaling $20 million before Monday's drawing the Hoosier state boasts a lead in Powerball jackpot wins with an impressive tally of 39 since the game started in 1992, and it's worth noting that Indiana set the precedent, being home to the first Powerball jackpot win over 30 years ago, figures that might stir some hometown pride among those who go in for that sort of thing—which clearly many Hoosiers do given the stats, with this historical tidbit brought to you by FOX59.
