$1M Powerball Ticket Sold In Howard Co.

HOWARD COUNTY, Md. (WJZ)--Some Powerball player somewhere is one million dollars richer tonight.

State lottery officials say the second-tier winner bought their ticket at a Giant in Howard County.

WJZ's Gigi Barnett has more on the search for the winner.

Sometimes a midday grocery grab includes a Powerball lottery ticket on the shopping list.

You can't win if you don't play right?

Well, so someone played this past weekend at this Giant store in Elkridge, Howard County and they won one million dollars in Wednesday night's drawing -- it's the second-tier prize for getting all five numbers right.

Not the top multi-million dollar jackpot, but enough-- especially with the holidays lingering.

The mystery winner hasn't come forward yet so, lottery officials are making a call to action: check your tickets!

The next Powerball drawing is Saturday.
