Nope, you're not a billionaire, but a couple people in Pennsylvania -- including possibly in Philadelphia -- could now be millionaires.
Million-dollar winning tickets sold in Pennsylvania
Two tickets in Wednesday night's $1.19 billion Powerball draw that matched all five white balls (9, 35, 54, 63, 64), but failed to match the red Powerball (1) were sold in Pennsylvania.
One of those tickets is worth $2 million since it had the Power Play option added. That ticket was sold at the Citgo at 2999 Bear Creek Boulevard in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.

The other is worth $1 million. That winner was sold at the United Food Market at 500 East Walnut Lane in Philadelphia's East Germantown neighborhood, the state lottery said.
The Wilke-Barre gas station gets $10,000 for selling the $2 million ticket, the state lottery said. The Philly shop gets $5,000 for selling the $1 million ticket.
Other $2 million winners in the Oct. 4, 2023 Powerball draw were sold at stores in Kentucky and Texas, according to Powerball. Other $1 million Wednesday winners were sold in California (two tickets), Colorado, New York and Texas (two tickets).
Millions of other tickets sold for Wednesday's draw matched lesser prizes. So, check your numbers.
The Powerball jackpot keeps growing
Despite the odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot being 1 in 292,201,338, people can keep dreaming.
While, those dreams as getting even bigger with the jackpot for the Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, draw at an estimated $1.4 billion. The lump sum cash amount is an estimated $643.7 million.
The latest Powerball jackpot is the world’s seventh-largest lottery prize. The last time someone won the top prize was July 19.
"In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run which began Saturday, July 22, 2023, has generated more than $95 million in sales, creating a profit of more than $38 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians," the state lottery said.
Good luck.
