Player bought lucky ticket at Mitchellville grocery
A lucky Powerball player went to sleep last night $100,000 richer after winning a third-tier prize in the March 2 drawing.
Third-tier prizes in Powerball are $50,000, but the winner doubled the prize by adding the Power Play option to the lucky ticket that was purchased at Weis Markets #290 located at 12100 Central Avenue in Mitchellville. Even though no one hit the jackpot, there were 8,851 winning tickets in Maryland for the March 2 Powerball drawing, ranging from $4 to $100,000. Another 1,835 Maryland players added Power Play to their tickets, doubling their prize with the 2x multiplier.

The Powerball jackpot has rolled to an estimated annuity value of $85 million for the Saturday, March 5 drawing, with an estimated cash option of $56.6 million. This is the 15th third-tier Powerball prize won in 2022 and the third to double to $100,000 because the winner added Power Play.
