The Pennsylvania Lottery said Thursday that it awarded a prize worth $1 million on a Powerball ticket to a player from Delaware County who purchased the ticket online for the Wednesday, March 27 drawing.

The ticket matched five of the five white balls drawn, 37-46-57-60-66, but not the red Powerball 8, to win $1 million, less applicable withholding.

Winners are not known until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated.

Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Winning tickets purchased at a Lottery retailer should immediately be signed on the back. Online winnings automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed. Players may visit palottery.com for more information about how to file a claim.

More than 117,600 other PA Lottery Powerball tickets won prizes of various amounts in Wednesday’s drawing, including more than 20,800 tickets purchased with Power Play and more than 9,500 tickets purchased with Double Play. Players should check every ticket, every time.

“With this jackpot rolling, it’s creating a lot of buzz, plus offering up the opportunity to dream big,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “In Pennsylvania, tickets are selling at a rate of more than $1,400 each minute and that’s also exciting for our older population, who benefits from proceeds generated by game sales like these.”

In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run has generated more than $70 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $28 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
