A Tupelo Ticket Wins $1 Million in Saturday’s Powerball Drawing
JACKSON, MISS. (PRESS RELEASE) — According to a press release, a $2 Powerball ticket purchased at Sprint Mart #38 in Tupelo is worth $1 million after matching all five white ball numbers in Saturday night’s drawing.
Mississippi was one of six states to produce a $1 million-winning ticket in the drawing, joining Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
