Most likely a Pennsylvanian didn't win the $1.76 billion Powerball jackpot on Wednesday night, but someone from the Philadelphia suburbs could be a new millionaire.
The winner in the Oct. 11, 2023, draw -- the second-largest in U.S. lottery history -- was sold at Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, according to the California Lottery. The sole jackpot ticket could be cashed in for a $774.1 million lump sum.
