DELAWARE COUNTY RESTAURANT SELLS $20 MILLION POWERBALL® TICKET
October 6, 2008
MIDDLETOWN – Pennsylvania Lottery officials today announced the sole winning ticket of a $20 million, Oct. 4, Powerball® jackpot was sold at a Lansdowne, Delaware County, restaurant.
“We are pleased to announce that Lansdowne Restaurant sold the winning ticket from Saturday night’s drawing,” said Ed Trees, executive director of the Pennsylvania Lottery. “This is the 11th jackpot-winning Powerball ticket the Pennsylvania Lottery has sold since it joined the game in 2002.”
Saturday’s winning ticket matched all five white balls, 01-04-26-32-39, and the red Powerball number, 18. The winning ticket has an annuity value of $20 million and a cash value of $10.28 million, less 25 percent federal withholding.
Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. Each jackpot winner has 60 days from the date he or she claims the prize to decide between 30 annuity payments over a period of 29 years, or a one-time cash payment.
Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the Oct. 4 Powerball jackpot winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. At this time, no claim has been filed.
The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning Powerball ticket to sign the back of the ticket, contact a financial advisor, then contact the PA Lottery. Powerball jackpot prizes must be claimed at Lottery headquarters, 1200 Fulling Mill Road, Middletown, Dauphin County. Claims may be filed Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Lansdowne Restaurant, at Baltimore and Lansdowne avenues, will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning jackpot ticket.
The Powerball jackpot returns to an estimated $15 million annuity and an estimated $7.4 million cash prize for the Wednesday, Oct. 8 drawing.
Powerball tickets are sold in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands.
