Overview
- Old South Diner on Nantucket sold a $2 million Powerball ticket Wednesday after a drawing where the buyer matched five numbers and used the 2X Power Play.
- The winner has not claimed the prize, and Massachusetts rules give winners up to one year to come forward.
- Earlier this month, a separate $2 million scratch ticket sold at the same shop paid Nantucket resident Yancy Contreras Menjivar a one-time $1.3 million before taxes.
- The restaurant has now been the point of sale for five prizes of $1 million or more since March 2024, with reports tallying roughly $80,000 in retailer bonuses while the latest bonus has not been finalized.
- Powerball set the next jackpot at an estimated $166 million after no jackpot winner Wednesday, and the odds of matching five white balls for a $1 million prize are about 1 in 11.6 million.
