Winning Powerball Ticket Sold in Mt. Pleasant

AUSTIN � Four Texas cities — including Mt. Pleasant — have new millionaires with tickets matching five of the numbers drawn in Wednesday night�s Powerball drawing being sold by local retailers. Second-tier prize winning tickets were sold in Arlington, Amarillo, Mt. Pleasant, and San Antonio. According to a Lottery news release, the winning ticket in Mt. Pleasant — worth $1 million — was sold at South-End Grocery, 1101 South Jefferson Avenue.

�We look forward to meeting Texas� newest Powerball millionaires,� said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery, on Thursday. �In addition to last night�s winners, Texas has had 26 other lottery players become millionaires by winning second-tier prizes this past year.� Powerball players win second-tier prizes of $1 million by matching five of the numbers drawn but not the red Powerball. By adding the Power Play� feature for $1 at the time of purchase, players double their second-tier prize win to $2 million.
