Powerball player wins $1 million prize at Florida Publix. Where was lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player netted a life-changing prize during a stop at a Florida supermarket.
Someone won $1 million after matching five numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, Feb. 19, according to the Florida Lottery.
The ticket, sold at a Publix supermarket in Port St. Lucie, was one number shy of the game’s estimated $196 million jackpot prize, results show. It’s the latest big win for the Sunshine State, coming a day after a lottery player in Largo won a $108,711 Fantasy 5 jackpot.
The winning Powerball numbers were 6-21-28-49-60 and red Powerball 20, according to the Powerball website. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
There were no $2 million winners and no one hit the jackpot, pushing the top prize to an estimated $215 million.
The next Powerball drawing is Saturday, Feb. 22.
Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, according to the Florida Lottery.
Port St. Lucie is about a 100-mile drive northwest from Fort Lauderdale.
