PHOENIX – A Powerball ticket worth $1 million was purchased this week at a Phoenix gas station, the Arizona Lottery announced Thursday.
The lucky entry for Wednesday’s drawing came from the QuikTrip at 8233 N. Seventh St., north of Northern Avenue.
It matched all five white numbers drawn — 24, 29, 44, 47 and 54 — but missed the red Powerball of 2.
The prize must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing.
The jackpot for the next Powerball drawing on Saturday grew to an estimated $98 million.
19 players split another $1 million Powerball prize
