Middletown, PA – A Pennsylvania Lottery retailer in Allegheny County sold a jackpot-winning Powerball® ticket worth $213.8 million for the Monday, August 12 drawing.
The ticket matched all five white balls drawn, 9-22-57-67-68, and the red Powerball 14, to win a jackpot worth an estimated annuity value of $213.8 million, or $106.4 million cash, less applicable withholding.
AJ's Pizza, 3565 Harts Run Road, Pittsburgh, will earn a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
“The Pennsylvania Lottery congratulates the lucky winner and our retailer, AJ's Pizza, for selling this big Powerball jackpot-winning ticket,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “Thanks to our loyal players and our network of nearly 10,000 retailers across Pennsylvania, the PA Lottery is able to continue generating proceeds to pay for life-sustaining programs and services our senior population relies upon.”
Monday night’s drawing marked the sixth time the Powerball® jackpot has been won this year. The Powerball® jackpot had been rolling since July 3, 2024, when the last jackpot worth $139.3 million was won in Ohio. In Pennsylvania, this recent jackpot run generated more than $16.6 million in sales, creating a profit of $6.6 million to benefit older Pennsylvanians.
This is the 20th Powerball® jackpot won in Pennsylvania since the game debuted in 1992.
The last time the Powerball® jackpot was won in Pennsylvania was back in August of 2022 when a $206.9 million jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Westmoreland County.
