A old man matched it's 5 balls including the Powerball and wins a big jackpot worth of $50,000 in Powerball lottery game

A $50,000 Powerball ticket sold May 9 in Washington County has been claimed by a man from Williamsport, according to Maryland Lottery officials Tuesday.

The 63 years old contractor wishes to remain anonymous, Lottery officials said, which is allowed under Maryland law.

"I figure that somebody is going to win these jackpots and it’ll be one ticket that does it for them," the man told the Maryland Lottery.

"That’s why I always have at least one ticket.”

The man bought the ticket from the Sheetz at 20723 National Pike, at Mapleville Road.

He told the lottery officials that, “I immediately checked the winning numbers and saw that I had five of the numbers including the Power Ball, a $50,000 win,"
