One lucky Erieite is waking up four dollars richer today, as it was announced that a winning ticket to the Powerball drawing on October 11th was sold at the Country Fair at 3826 Peach Street. “We’re so excited that we sold a winning ticket,” said store manager Mitski Laycock. She added the store will be reviewing video of when the ticket was sold, in hopes of identifying the winner. “I hope it’s Fred,” stated Laycock. “He spends forty dollars a week here on lottery tickets; if anyone deserves it, he does.”
Other lottery players were not as enthused. “I guess I’m happy for the winner,” said lottery player Brian D’Addario as he brushed a mountain of scratch-off dust from his hands, “but I am a little jealous. That four dollars would be a big help to me.”
The lucky player’s Identity might not be known for a while, as winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes. The holder of the winning ticket should sign the back of the ticket and contact the nearest Lottery office.
For selling the winning ticket, the Country Fair store will receive absolutely nothing.
