NEENAH, WI (WLUK) — A winning Powerball ticket worth $100,000 was sold at a Neenah convenience store.
The ticket was sold at the Pride of Neenah on 670 N. Green Bay Road for the Saturday, Dec. 6 drawing.
The ticket matched four of five numbers (13-14-26-28-44) and the Powerball (7). The play included the $1 Power Play feature, turning a $50,000 prize into a $100,000 winner because of the 2X multiplier.
