Germantown Grandmother Wins $50,000

Published March 6, 2023 at 4:43PM | Updated March 6, 2023 at 5:24PM

The winning grandmother enjoys playing jackpot games and normally purchases both Powerball and Mega Millions tickets, playing her own numbers. However, on Feb. 26 when she went to buy her games, the Lottery self-serve vending machine didn’t let her pick her own numbers and gave her quick-pick tickets. It was that ticket from Wegmans #56 at 20600 Seneca Meadows Parkway in Germantown that won her a $50,000 third-tier prize in the Feb. 27 Powerball drawing.

It wasn’t until the day after the drawing that the lucky lady checked her tickets. She quickly realized she matched four white balls and the red Power Ball for the $50,000 win.

By Patrick Herron

Published February 6, 2023 at 2:31PM

Tonight’s Powerball lottery drawing has an estimated jackpot of $747 million ($403.1 million cash value). Back in October and November, lottery fever took over MoCo when Powerball’s jackpot reached a record-setting $2.04 billion and became the largest prize in lottery history. Last month, the Mega Millions jackpot reached $1.1 billion. Both Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots build after each drawing where no ticket is matched. If nobody wins tonight’s Powerball jackpot, it’s likely to hit $1 billion by the end of the week. Additional details below, per Powerball:

“The Powerball® jackpot has grown to an estimated $747 million ($403.1 million cash value) for the Monday, Feb. 6 drawing. If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, it will rank as the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot and the ninth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot. The Powerball jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 2, 8, 15, 19, 58 and Powerball 10.
