$1 million Powerball Ticket Sold At Tampa Bay Circle K

A $1 million Powerball ticket was sold right here in Tampa Bay. Although it wasn’t the $1.33 billion jackpot $1 million is still pretty good the $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Circle K, which is located at 5025 Tampa Rd. in Oldsmar. That is the one that is located at the corner of Tampa Road and Racetrack Road. So, if you frequent that Circle K, you may want to check your ticket because you may have a $1 million Powerball ticket.

So the $1.33 billion Powerball jackpot had one winner. That one winner is located in Oregon. The winning numbers are 22, 27, 44, 52, and 69. The Powerball number is 9. The person in Oregon who won will get the cash value of the jackpot of $621 million.

There was a delay on Saturday night’s release of the numbers because the Powerball officials needed more time to complete its pre-draw procedures.

“While a delay to tonight’s Powerball drawing is unfortunate, it means participating lotteries are following the game rules enacted to protect the integrity of the game,” Powerball said in a release. “Every single ticket bought for Saturday’s Powerball drawing will be accounted for before the winning numbers are drawn.”

Firstly, Powerball is a multi-state lottery game that is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Secondly, drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern. Players select five white balls from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.

The jackpot is won by matching all five white balls and the red Powerball. Finally, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.

You must be at least 18 years old to play Powerball. Additionally, the tickets to play cost $2 each. Finally, you will have 180 days from the drawing date to claim your prize. If you win the grand prize you can choose to get paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or as a lump-sum payment.

Who couldn't use an extra million dollars these days? It's a running joke that Florida has some of the best odds when it comes to playing the lottery. It goes even further when you realize how many Publix stores sell top-winning lottery prizes. Obviously, it couldn't be any more than a coincidence but we decided to deep-dive into some of the top winning prizes sold in Publix stores. A few are even in the Tampa Bay area!

A lot of games in this list still have top prizes available! So if you're feeling lucky head to your nearest Publix to grab a ticket. It's important to know all the scratch-off games that have top prizes available. That way you won't waste your money or time. You can always check on the Florida Lottery website.

With any lottery win, the store that sells the winning ticket receives a bonus. We can only imagine how much Publix has been rewarded over the years. Other common stores that we noticed sell a lot of winning tickets are 7-Eleven, Circle K, and Winn Dixie. Maybe spread your luck and buy a ticket from each store.

It's been said by experts that if you win the lottery keep your mouth shut. This depends on how much money you end up winning. But if you're lucky enough to win a top prize, it's recommended to surround yourself with lawyers and financial advisors. If you're quick to broadcast your winnings, you could put your life in danger.

What would you spend your winnings on if you ever won a top prize? We bet a lot of people would pay off their debt or credit card bills. We wouldn't recommend blowing it on an expensive car or fancy house, because eventually the money will run out and you'll be stuck paying way more in taxes/maintenance.
