Pa. Lottery congratulates Westmoreland County Sheetz for selling $206.9M ticket

Officials from the Pennsylvania Lottery held a special event today at the Sheetz, 205 North Center Ave., New Stanton, which sold the $206.9 million Powerball jackpot-winning ticket for the Wednesday, Aug. 3 drawing. The store receives a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The ticket matched all five white balls drawn, 9-21-56-57-66, and the red Powerball 11, to win a jackpot worth an estimated annuity value of $206.9 million, or $122.3 million cash, less applicable withholding.

“The Pennsylvania Lottery congratulates the lucky winner and Sheetz for selling this big winning jackpot ticket,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko. “Sheetz joins close to 10,000 of our valued retailer partners that help us sell Lottery products in a socially responsible way; products like our Draw games, Scratch-Offs and Keno. We appreciate all of our retailers’ support over the past 50 years. With their support we’re able to generate proceeds that help fund life-sustaining programs for older Pennsylvanians.”

Last week, the Pennsylvania Lottery announced that the Lottery generated a profit of nearly $1.2 billion to benefit older Pennsylvanians during the 2021-22 fiscal year. This is the 11th consecutive year the Lottery has generated more than $1 billion for senior programs, which include property tax and rent rebates, free and reduced-fare transportation, prescription assistance, and more.
