A $1 million Powerball ticket from Wednesday’s drawing was sold at a Circle K in Scottsdale, and the winner is still a no‑show, according to Arizona Lottery officials. For now, the seven‑figure prize is known only as the big hit tied to a north Scottsdale convenience store, part of a streak of hefty wins that has Arizonans double‑checking glove compartments, junk drawers and old receipts.
Store And Other Arizona Winners
According to AZFamily, the $1 million Match‑5 Powerball ticket was sold at a Circle K near Dynamite Boulevard and Alma School Parkway in Scottsdale. The same Arizona Lottery report also notes a $50,000 Powerball prize sold near Buffalo Soldier Trail and 7th Street in Sierra Vista and a $20,000 Mega Millions ticket sold at a Circle K in Maricopa. Lottery officials said several Circle K retailers across Maricopa, Cochise and Pinal counties recorded winning tickets in recent drawings, turning the chain into a mini hot streak for hopeful players.
How To Claim And What Winners Should Do
The Arizona Lottery gives players 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim draw‑game prizes, and anything worth $600 or more has to be claimed either by mail or at a lottery office. For larger payouts, the Lottery instructs winners to sign the back of the ticket immediately, complete a claim form and then either mail the documents or take them to one of its offices in Phoenix or Tucson. Full claim instructions and a winner brochure are available from the Arizona Lottery.
Big Night For Powerball Nationwide
Wednesday’s Powerball drawing produced two jackpot winners, in Indiana and Kansas, along with an unusually high number of second‑tier payouts. Roughly 89 players across the country scored $1 million or $2 million prizes, lottery trackers reported, which helps explain the cluster of high‑value tickets surfacing in Arizona this week. The winning white balls for the April 29 draw were 3, 19, 35, 51 and 67, with Powerball 15, according to reporting compiled by LotteryPost.
Retailer Spotlight
Circle K has been on a roll with recent big Arizona wins, and the chain was also at the center of a separate high‑profile legal fight earlier this year over a $12.8 million ticket printed at a Scottsdale location. Corporate filings and court papers highlighted in coverage by Moneywise show how fast a winning ticket can turn into a battle over corporate claims and timing. It is a reminder that life‑changing jackpots sold at corner stores sometimes come with legal drama alongside the confetti.
If you bought Powerball or Mega Millions tickets for the April 29 drawing, now is the time to scan them using the Arizona Lottery mobile app or at a retailer. If you think you are holding the $1 million winner, sign the ticket immediately and contact the Arizona Lottery to start the claim process.
