Oakwood Convenience Store Sells Winning $50,000 Powerball Ticket

Gainesville, FL, September 21, 2026 —

A winning $50,000 Powerball ticket was recently sold at a convenience store located in Oakwood, lottery officials have confirmed.

The ticket matched five out of the six numbers drawn in the Powerball game, securing the second-tier prize. The specific drawing date and location within Oakwood where the winning ticket was purchased have not been publicly disclosed.

The identity of the winner has also not been released, pending verification and claim procedures by the lottery commission. Winners of prizes of this magnitude typically have a limited time frame to claim their winnings, often within 180 days of the drawing date. Specific instructions on how to claim the prize, along with necessary documentation, are usually provided by the lottery’s official website or customer service channels.

Powerball is a multi-state lottery game played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the jackpot drawings attract significant attention, smaller prizes, such as the $50,000 awarded here, are won by matching a specific combination of non-jackpot numbers.

The convenience store that sold the ticket will receive a retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket, though the specific amount of this bonus was not provided in the available information. The name of the convenience store was also not provided.

Lottery officials encourage players to check their tickets carefully and to sign the back of any winning tickets immediately. Further details regarding the winning ticket and the claim process are expected to be released as they become available.
