$2 million Powerball ticket claimed

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota lottery officials say a winning Powerball ticket worth $2 million has been claimed at the lottery office in Bismarck.
 
     The office said Wednesday that the winner is a resident of Williston who chose to remain anonymous. The office says the winner has no immediate plans for the prize.
 
     The ticket matched all five white balls – 10, 16, 18, 29 and 45 – but not the Powerball, making it worth $1 million. The buyer paid an extra dollar to add the Power Play feature, so the jackpot doubles to $2 million.

Bismarck  (CSi)   – The Labor Day holiday kicked off with a nice surprise for one lucky ticket holder. A Powerball ticket purchased in North Dakota for the Saturday September 5 drawing matched all five white balls, making it worth $1 million, and because the Lottery player had added the Power Play feature for one dollar more, the prize doubled, making the winning ticket worth $2 million.

The winning numbers are 10, 16, 18, 29, 45, and the Powerball is 19. 

This the second Match 5 North Dakota Powerball prize won this year.  In January, a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Horizon Resources Cenex in Williston.

Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. North Dakota Lottery director Randy Miller said, “if you have the winning ticket, the first thing you should do is sign the back of the ticket. Then, call the North Dakota Lottery office and make arrangements to claim your prize.”
