$1 Million Powerball Ticket Sold In Escambia County

August 9, 2013

Four players in Florida won $1 million each  in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing. One of those tickets was sold in Escambia County at the Circle K at 4500 East Olive Road.

The $1 million ticket was claimed Thursday afternoon by Melissa Wienmann of Pensacola.

According to Weinmann, her husband is stationed at NAS Pensacola and is a Staff Sergeant in the Marines. They had been experiencing financial struggles due to her recent furlough. However, they are now looking forward to taking their grandson to Disney World in Orlando for his fifth birthday. Weinmann also stated that she intends to pay off their debt and set up a college fund for their grandson.

The winning numbers from the Powerball draw were 05-25-30-58-59, and the Powerball was 32.  Each of the four retailers received a $1,000 bonus commission for selling a $1 million Powerball  ticket, and more than $32 million was transferred to the state’s Educational Enhancement Trust Fund from this series of rollovers.

There were three winning tickets sharing the $448 million prize. Two of the winning tickets were sold in New Jersey and the third was sold in Minnesota.
