Last week’s record $1.5 billion PowerBall jackpot may be not have been won by a Rhode Islander, but a few Ocean State residents did hit it big.
Two $1 million tickets were sold – one at Colbea Enterprises at 1207 Pontiac Ave. in Cranston, and the other at Conimicut Liquors at 1230 West Shore Road in Warwick. The $1 million prize is for matching five numbers.
A $50,000 ticket was sold at the Stop & Shop at 575 Greenwich Ave. in Warwick. A Coventry woman and her husband have claimed that ticket. The couple told the lottery they plan to use the money toward something special for their family, with the rest going into a savings fund.
Four other high-tier winning tickets were sold in Rhode Island.
Two $100,000 winners were sold – one at the Stop & Shop at 333 West River St. in Providence and the other at Tavares News at 30 High St. in Pawtucket.
John Diggle of Greenville has claimed the prize for the ticket sold in Pawtucket. His ticket matched four numbers and the PowerBall number, and he paid an extra dollar for the PowerPlay option, multiplying his prize by two for the $100,000 total. A 40-year National Grid employee, Diggle told the Rhode Island Lottery he would save the money for retirement.
Another $50,000 ticket was sold at the Stop & Shop at 900 Tiogue Ave. in Coventry. A Coventry man, who is a 20-year Navy veteran, has already claimed that prize.
Overall, the Rhode Island Lottery said $2,762,716 was won in the state.
