WALHALLA, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A lucky North Dakota Powerball player became a millionaire overnight winning big.

A $1,000,000 Powerball ticket for Saturday night’s draw won by matching five white balls. The winning numbers were 5, 8, 17, 27, 28 and the Powerball was 14. The Power Play multiplier was 3. No one has contacted the Lottery office to claim the prize.

The lucky ticket was sold at Walhalla Cooperative Oil, 1700 Highway 32, in Walhalla. Walhalla Cooperative Oil will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning Powerball ticket.

“We are extremely excited to begin 2021 with a million dollar prize winner. If you have the winning ticket, the first thing you should do is sign the back of the ticket,” said Randy Miller, director of the North Dakota Lottery.

Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. Prizes over $599 must be claimed at the North Dakota Lottery in Bismarck, but because the Lottery office is currently closed to the public, the winner(s) will need to contact the ND Lottery by telephone first, to receive special instructions and make arrangements to claim their prize.
