Two routine pit stops at suburban gas stations just turned into serious paydays. State officials say two Powerball tickets worth $50,000 each were sold in Indianapolis-area suburbs, and the Hoosier Lottery is now waiting for the lucky Hoosiers to step forward.
One winning ticket was bought at a Kroger Fuel Center on Allisonville Road in Fishers, and the other at a Meijer Express on State Road 135 in Greenwood. Both tickets hit the same prize tier, which is nothing to sneeze at for what was likely a quick stop for gas or groceries.
Winning Numbers And The $50K Prize Tier
The Powerball drawing on Wednesday, July 15 produced the numbers 2-7-18-29-38 with Powerball 16, according to Powerball. Matching four white balls plus the red Powerball lands players in the $50,000 tier under the game’s official payout structure, as outlined in official rules from Powerball.
Where The Winning Tickets Were Sold
As reported by Fox59, the two winning entries were sold at a Kroger Fuel Center on Allisonville Road in Fishers and at Meijer Express on State Road 135 in Greenwood. Each ticket matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball, placing them in the $50,000 prize tier, officials said.
That means two ordinary suburban stops now have bragging rights as the latest spots to move winning Powerball slips, and two customers are sitting on tickets worth more than many cars parked outside those stores.
How Winners Can Claim
According to the Hoosier Lottery, anyone who thinks they might be holding one of these winners should treat the ticket like cash. Officials urge players to keep the ticket secure, consider consulting a financial adviser, and contact Hoosier Lottery customer service at 1-800-955-6886 for specific claim instructions.
The lottery also reminds players that they can scan or check tickets with the Hoosier Lottery mobile app to confirm whether they have a winner and to learn the next steps in the claim process. No confetti until the prize is verified.
How These Wins Fit Into The Statewide Picture
Indiana has seen a steady stream of mid-tier Powerball and Mega Millions winners in recent months, with local retailers across the state routinely selling five-figure prizes during jackpot runs. Those smaller payouts usually do not grab national headlines but still send meaningful checks to Hoosiers and keep convenience stores and grocery stops in the conversation as “lucky” locations.
Local outlets have been tracking many of those wins in their lottery coverage, including WNDU. For now, though, two central Indiana tickets are the ones to watch, and two yet-unnamed winners have 50,000 reasons to double check their pockets, glove compartments, and kitchen junk drawers.
