(The following information was provided by the Pennsylvania Lottery.)

A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Montgomery County sold a Powerball® with Double Play® ticket worth $500,000 for the Saturday, Oct. 14 drawing.

The ticket matched five of the five Double Play® balls drawn, 13-21-33-46-50, but not the Double Play® Powerball® number 23, to win $500,000, less applicable withholding.

Weis Markets, 1551 Valley Forge Road, Upper Gwynedd, earns a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The Pennsylvania Lottery introduced the Double Play® feature when it launched a third weekly drawing on Mondays in August 2021. Drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Double Play® is an optional feature that, for an additional $1 per play, gives players another chance to win with their Powerball® numbers in a separate drawing with a top cash prize of $10 million. The Double Play® drawing is held after every Powerball® drawing.

More than 29,400 other PA Lottery Powerball® tickets won prizes of various amounts in the drawing, including more than 7,400 tickets purchased with Power Play® and more than 4,000 tickets purchased with Double Play®. Players should check every ticket, every time.

Pennsylvania Lottery players have options to purchase their Powerball® tickets online or by visiting a retailer. Players can find lottery-selling locations closest to them by visiting the Find a Retailer section of the Lottery’s website
