Middle River Store Sells Secondary Powerball Winner
A Compass Express in Middle River sold a $10,000 winner last month.
Nobody in Maryland won the top prize of $587.5 million in last month's record Powerball drawing, but there were plenty of winners—including someone who purchased a ticket in Middle River.
A $10,000 third-tier-winning ticket was sold at Compass Express in Middle River.
It was one of 10 tickets sold in Maryland that garnered the $10,000 prize. Another ticket was sold in Towson, and two were sold in Baltimore City. The $10,000 jackpot for a ticket sold at a 7-Eleven in Hamilton in Baltimore City was unclaimed as of Wednesday morning.
