When someone wins the lottery, especially if it's a life-changing sum like $1 million, most winners won't hesitate to rush to lottery headquarters and claim their prize. However, life can get busy and lead to some winners forgetting to check their tickets to see if they hit the jackpot. If you recently purchased a lottery ticket in Tennessee, you may want to check your numbers now as one lucky winner matched enough numbers in Saturday's (July 20) Powerball drawing to win a $2 million prize.
A lucky Powerball ticket sold at the Publix at 2010 Town Center Boulevard in Knoxville scored $2 million during Saturday night's drawing after matching all five numbers and the Power Play option, according to a release from the Tennessee Lottery. The ticket was the only one in the country to win the $2 million prize, per the Powerball website.
If you think you may have purchased the ticket, now's the time to check to see if you won. These are the lucky numbers that helped the to-be-determined winner score their huge prize:
Numbers: 18 - 25 - 31 - 40 - 57
Powerball: 4
Power Play: 3x
Because no tickets managed to match all six numbers during Saturday's drawing, the jackpot has risen to an estimated $102 million ahead of the drawing on Monday (July 22).
