Jacksonville, Florida – A Powerball player in Jacksonville has struck it rich, winning a $1 million prize after matching all five winning numbers in the latest drawing held on Wednesday night. The winning ticket was sold at a Publix located at 7117 Merrill Rd, and the winning numbers for this draw were 10, 13, 28, 34, and 47, while the Powerball number was 15. Although the fortunate player matched all five numbers, they did not match the Powerball to win the grand jackpot.
According to the rules set by the Florida Lottery, winners have a period of 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes. In this particular case, the owner of the winning ticket has until April 14, 2026, to come forward and claim their $1 million reward. Players can also opt to claim their prizes via mail if the amount is $250,000 or less.
The recent Powerball drawing has seen the overall jackpot roll over to an estimated $295 million after no one matched all numbers in this round. The estimated cash value of the jackpot for the next drawing is $138.1 million. For those hoping to win, the overall odds of securing any Powerball prize stand at 1 in 24.87, with the odds of winning the jackpot estimated at 1 in 292,201,338.
This win highlights a positive trend for the Jacksonville area, as it is not the first time this month that a $1 million ticket has been sold. In fact, just a few weeks ago, another ticket worth $1 million was sold in Jacksonville during the drawing on September 29. The earlier winning ticket was purchased from Golden Ox Liquors on Normandy Boulevard. In total, two $1 million tickets have been sold in Jacksonville within less than a month, showcasing the area’s recent luck.
In the same drawing as the recent Jacksonville win, another ticket in Kentucky also claimed a $1 million prize, illustrating the excitement and potential wealth these lottery games can bring to players across state lines. Florida law mandates that information concerning lottery winners, such as their name and residence, becomes public; however, winners of amounts exceeding $250,000 may remain anonymous for up to 90 days after claiming their prize if they choose.
Powerball drawings take place three times a week, specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 PM ET. Lottery enthusiasts continue to participate, driven by the hope of striking it big. With the jackpots continuing to roll over and the high stakes involved, many see the lottery as a thrilling way to pursue a life-changing fortune.
As Jacksonville celebrates its recent win, players are reminded that the pursuit of luck in the lottery involves both chance and opportunity, with every ticket bought holding the potential to change a life forever.
