Someone who swung by a Circle K in Columbus for gas or snacks just picked up something a little more exciting: a six-figure Powerball win. The store sold a ticket that matched four of the five white balls plus the Powerball in Saturday night’s April 11 drawing, a combo that turned into a $100,000 payday after the Power Play feature doubled the prize. Lottery officials are using the win as a fresh reminder for local players to dig out those tickets and give them a second look after big drawings.
Numbers and Power Play
The winning white balls were 6, 47, 49, 53 and 60, with the Powerball 6 and a Power Play of 2x, according to Powerball. Matching four white balls plus the Powerball ordinarily lands a $50,000 prize, but the 2x Power Play multiplier pushed this ticket’s payout to $100,000. No one hit the jackpot in Saturday’s draw, so the top prize rolled over to the next game.
Where the ticket was purchased
According to The Republic, the $100,000 Powerball with Power Play ticket was bought at the Circle K on Jonathan Moore Pike in Columbus. Circle K’s store locator lists a location at 2415 W. Jonathan Moore Pike in Columbus, matching the retailer cited in the report. The Republic did not identify the lucky ticket holder.
How to claim the prize
Hoosier Lottery guidance states that prizes of $50,000 or more must be claimed by appointment, and winners should call Hoosier Lottery customer service at 1-800-955-6886 to schedule a visit, according to the Lottery’s claim instructions. The Lottery also advises signing the back of the ticket immediately, keeping it in a safe place, and considering professional financial advice before claiming. Required documentation and claim deadlines are outlined on the Lottery’s winners page.
Odds and local context
Per Powerball’s prize chart, the odds of matching four white balls plus the Powerball are about 1 in 913,129, with a standard prize of $50,000. In this case, the Power Play boost nudged that mid-tier win up to $100,000. While the massive jackpots grab most of the headlines, lottery officials note that mid-tier prizes like this one are relatively common after major drawings and can still be life-changing for whoever holds the winning slip. For official numbers and full claim details, players are directed to the Hoosier Lottery and Powerball resources cited above.
