Player bought lucky ticket in Upper Marlboro
The Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $700 million after Wednesday’s drawing. And in the process, the game delivered a $50,000 prize on a ticket sold in Prince George’s County and 28,272 other Maryland prizes. No one hit the jackpot, which is now the sixth-largest in Powerball history and the 10th-largest in U.S. lottery history.
The Maryland Lottery is looking for the lucky player who bought a third-tier winning ticket at Croom Citgo located at 7538 Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro. The winning numbers were 31, 43, 58, 59 and 66; the Powerball was 9 and Power Play was x2. This is the ninth third-tier Powerball winning ticket sold in Maryland in 2023.
Lottery officials encourage winners to sign the backs of their tickets immediately and put them in a safe location. They get 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
