Man buys six $1 million tickets

A Glendale, Ariz., man who played the same numbers on six Powerball tickets didn’t win the big jackpot but nabbed a $1 million second-place prize for each ticket for a total of $6 million, Arizona Lottery officials said this week. 

The winner, who elected to remain anonymous, claimed the prizes in three visits to the lottery’s Phoenix office, according to a lottery statement.

The win came in the April 25 Powerball drawing. 


The winning numbers were 4-25-29-34-43, with Powerball 29. The Glendale man won the second-place prize by matching all five numbers but not the Powerball. Azcentral.com reports that the tickets were bought at a QuikTrip store.
