A routine stop at a Speedway in Delaware turned into a six-figure payday after yesterday's Powerball drawing, when one ticket sold there hit for $200,000. The play fell just short of the jackpot, matching four of the five white balls plus the red Powerball, and a 4x Power Play multiplier shoved the prize up to $200,000.
Numbers and prize breakdown
According to Powerball, yesterday's winning numbers were 12, 29, 37, 43 and 55, with Powerball 18 and a 4x Power Play. The official results show there were no jackpot winners, but several Power Play tickets nationwide matched four white balls plus the Powerball, each paying out $200,000 after the multiplier.
The same breakdown lists Saturday's upcoming jackpot at an estimated $435 million, with a cash value of about $195 million.
Where the ticket was bought
The Columbus Dispatch reports the winning $200,000 ticket was sold at Speedway #1404 in Delaware. Ohio Lottery officials told the paper the play was a manual pick, not a quick-pick selection, and confirmed both the prize amount and the retailer information.
What comes next
With the jackpot still untouched, the top prize rolls into the next drawing. Anyone who bought a ticket for yesterday's game is urged to double-check their numbers through official channels, such as Powerball or the Ohio Lottery, and follow the lottery's claim procedures if they believe they are holding a winner.
