Phoenix – A Powerball player in Arizona has won $50,000 after purchasing a winning ticket at a QuikTrip located near Indian School Road and 32nd Street in Phoenix. The winning ticket was drawn on Saturday, verifying the luck of the player who matched four white balls and the Powerball number.
The winning numbers for Saturday’s drawing were 6, 18, 34, 35, 36, with the Powerball number being 2. For players looking to strike it rich in future drawings, the odds of winning a $50,000 prize are 1 in 913,129. The next Powerball drawing, scheduled for Monday, is already drawing interest, with an estimated jackpot of $426 million.
Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night, providing ample opportunities for players to try their luck. Tickets are priced at $2 and are readily available at over 3,000 retail locations throughout Arizona, including convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations. For anyone hoping to claim a prize, winners have 180 days from the drawing date to come forward.
To win the $50,000 prize, players need to match four of the five drawn numbers along with the Powerball number. The chances of winning any prize in Powerball are relatively more favorable, with the odds standing at 1 in 24.9. However, those aiming for the jackpot face much steeper odds of 1 in 292.2 million.
This recent win adds to a string of good fortune for Arizona Lottery players. Just this past June, two players shared a jackpot from The Pick worth $868,000, demonstrating that substantial prizes continue to be awarded within the state.
The Arizona Lottery offers a diverse range of draw games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, The Pick, Triple Twist, Fantasy 5, and Pick 3, as well as various scratch-off tickets. Revenue from these lottery games contributes to vital state programs, with funds allocated to higher education, health and human services, environmental conservation, and economic development.
For those lucky enough to win smaller amounts, all Arizona Lottery retailers are authorized to redeem prizes up to $100. However, tickets worth more than $599 must be claimed at designated lottery offices or through mail. These offices are conveniently located across the state in cities such as Phoenix, Tucson, Kingman, and even at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
As the next Powerball drawing approaches, anticipation builds among players who hope for a life-changing win. With tickets easily accessible and the odds favoring smaller prizes, the excitement surrounding Arizona’s lottery continues to grow as more residents try their luck in this popular game.
