$1 million Powerball ticket purchased at Phoenix convenience store

PHOENIX – A lucky local lottery player struck it rich in Saturday’s Powerball drawing with a $1 million ticket.

A $2 entry sold at the Circle K on 27th Avenue south of Dunlap Avenue matched all five numbers but missed the Powerball, which would have boosted the prize to the jackpot of $85 million.

The winning numbers were 8, 23, 37, 52 and 63, and the Powerball was 13.

The odds are 1 in 11,688,054 to win the $1 million prize the national game, which has three drawings a week.

It was the second million-dollar Powerball ticket purchased at a Phoenix Circle K this year.

An entry sold at the 40th Street and Thunderbird Road location matched all five numbers in the Jan. 5 drawing.

In last Monday’s drawing, two tickets purchased in Arizona, one in Mesa and one in the Tucson area, won $50,000 by matching four numbers. The odds are 1 in 913,129 to win a $50,000 Powerball prize.
