Ripley, Tenn. – For the second time in as many drawings, a winning Powerball ticket of $50,000 was sold on Highway 51 in West Tennessee.
A lucky Powerball player in Lauderdale County won $50,000 in Monday’s drawing when they matched four out of five white balls and the red Powerball to win. Monday’s winning ticket was sold at Ripley Quick Stop, 936 Highway 51 in Ripley.
In Saturday’s drawing a player won $50,000 after purchasing a ticket at Kroger, 8039 Highway 51 in Millington – just 36 miles down the road from the Ripley Quick Stop.
No additional information is available until the prize is claimed.
Monday drawings began in August, joining the regular Wednesday and Saturday drawings to give Tennessee players another chance to win the popular drawing-style game. In addition, the $1 Double Play add-on feature gives players a chance to win up to $10 million with their Powerball numbers in a separate drawing. Players play their same set of numbers in both the main Powerball drawing and the separate Double Play drawing. Powerball tickets that include the Double Play add-on are eligible to win prizes in both drawings.
The current estimated Powerball jackpot is $132 million, and the next drawing is Wednesday, November 3.
