VIRGINIA — A Powerball ticket sold at a Publix store in Richmond won $150,000 in Saturday night’s drawing as the jackpot continued to climb, lottery officials said.
The Virginia Lottery announced Sunday, Dec. 21, that the winning ticket was purchased at a Publix located at 4951 S. Laburnum Ave. in Richmond. No ticket in Virginia or nationwide matched all six winning numbers in the drawing.
