RICHMOND, Va. — Two tickets sold at Central Virginia grocery stores each scored $50,000 in Saturday's Powerball drawing, according to Virginia Lottery officials.
"Since no ticket in Virginia or anywhere else matched all six numbers, the jackpot for the Monday, September 1, drawing grows to an estimated $1.1 billion," officials said.
Three tickets that matched four of the first five winning numbers plus the Powerball number were sold at:
- Publix at 4591 South Laburnum Avenue in Henrico
- Kroger at 2801 Hicks Road in North Chesterfield
- 7-Eleven at 3500 Deep Creek Boulevard in Portsmouth
Saturday night’s winning numbers were white balls 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and red Powerball 17, with a Power Play multiplier of 3.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, the association said.
If a player wins Monday, they can choose between the $1.1 billion annuity or a one-time payment of nearly half a billion dollars, both before taxes.
