CHECK YOUR TICKETS: Million-dollar Powerball winner sold in Indiana

While the $473.1 million Powerball jackpot was won by someone in Arizona, the Hoosier Lottery says a million-dollar winner was sold in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS — Someone in Indiana is holding onto a million-dollar Powerball ticket.

The Hoosier Lottery reports a Powerball ticket that matched all five white balls was sold in the state for Wednesday's $473.1 million drawing. The million-dollar ticket was sold at Kroger, located at 1571 N. State St., in Greenfield.

The winning ticket is worth $1 million before taxes. Whoever bought the ticket did not pay extra for the Power Play option, which would have doubled the prize amount.

Another ticket sold in Indiana matched four out of five numbers, plus the Powerball, for a $50,000 prize. This ticket was purchased at Kroger, located at 4714 S. U.S. Highway 41, in Terre Haute. 

In all, the Hoosier Lottery reported 18,503 tickets sold in the state for Wednesday's drawing won at least $4. 

According to the Powerball website, a winning jackpot ticket matching all five numbers plus the Powerball was sold in Arizona. The owner of that ticket will collect nearly a half-billion dollars before taxes.
