PHOENIX – There was no multimillion-dollar jackpot in Arizona for Wednesday’s lucrative Powerball drawing, but somebody purchased a $1 million ticket in Phoenix.
An entry sold at the Circle K at 40th Street and Thunderbird Road matched five numbers — 6, 14, 25, 33 and 46 – but missed the red Powerball of 17.
It was one of 14 $1 million or $2 million tickets sold nationwide for the drawing.
The Valley also had three other nice wins of $50,000 for matching four numbers plus the Powerball.
Those tickets were sold at a Shell gas station at Higley and Brown roads in Mesa, the Fiesta Barn Market at Buckeye and El Mirage roads in Avondale and the Fry’s Food Store at Seventh Street and Baseline Road in Phoenix.
Two tickets, one sold in Wisconsin and the other in California, hit on every number to split the $632 million jackpot, with a cash option of $450.2 million.
It was the seventh-largest prize in Powerball history and the game’s first jackpot win since a single ticket hit for $699.8 million on Oct. 4, 2021.
