The lucky player matched five out of the six balls pulled in the Monday, March 11 drawing for the Powerball, according to state gaming representatives. Meanwhile, the jackpot rolled to an estimated annuity value of $559 million, or $273.3 million cash, for the next drawing. 

The Sunoco at 4001 Woodhaven Road will get a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket. 

Winners are not known until they claim their prize and their ticket is validated, lotto reps said. All winners have up to one year from the drawing date to claim their prize, and winning tickets should be immediately signed on the back. 

More than 41,000 other Pennsylvania Lottery players won some amount in Monday's Powerball drawing, and every player is encouraged to double-check their ticket every time.
