$200k Powerball Ticket Sold in Carrington, North Dakota

02/01/08 $200,000 Powerball Ticket Sold in Carrington


Bismarck, ND On Saturday night, December 22, Lady Luck found a player with a winning Powerball ticket worth $200,000. The ticket was sold at Highway Standard in Carrington. The winning numbers were: 5, 10, 11, 34, 38 and the Powerball number was 21. A $200,000 winning ticket matches all five numbers, but not the Powerball. The ticket was purchased without the Power Play option.
The Lottery encourages players to check their tickets for winning numbers and sign their tickets to protect their prize. Lottery Director Chuck Keller said, “Before you do anything else, sign the back of your ticket. Your ticket is your only claim for the prize.” Winning players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
This is the second $200,000 win for North Dakota Lottery players in the past month. For the November 21 draw, a $200,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold in Fargo at Stop N Go. If Saturday’s winner had purchased the Power Play option, the $200,000 prize would have been multiplied by 4, making the prize worth $800,000.
To check tickets for winning numbers, visit a participating Lottery retailer
