Big Lottery Winner from Port Allegany Nobody won last night’s Powerball lottery jackpot, but somebody who bought a ticket in McKean County got a pretty decent runner up prize. A ticket purchased in a Sheetz store in Port Allegany was worth $500,000 for matching the first five numbers – 14, 16, 18, 19 and 29 – while having the Megaplier option. Since that multiplier was 2, it doubled the regular $250,000 second-tier prize. The player missed only the Mega Ball, which was 16. Posted by Anne at 1490 NewsBlog
