PHOENIX – A Phoenix lottery player won a $1 million Powerball prize over the weekend, while the jackpot soared past $600 million.
A million-dollar ticket for Saturday’s drawing was purchased at the QuikTrip at 30th Street and Indian School Road, Arizona Lottery officials said.
It was one of two entries nationwide that matched all five white balls — 8, 11, 19, 24 and 46 — but missed the red Powerball of 5. The other $1 million ticket was sold in Washington.
