Ohio Lottery officials say a winning auto-pick Powerball ticket worth $2 million recently was sold at a convenience store on Columbus' West Side.

The ticket was sold at the Duchess Shoppe store at the BP gas station at 4100 West Broad St. at Phillipi Road.

The winning ticket matched the first five numbers in Saturday night's drawing: 38, 42, 56, 68 and 69. The Powerball was 4. The Powerplay was 2, increasing the ticket's prize value from $1 million to $2 million.

The winner of Saturday's drawing hasn't yet claimed their prize and must cash their ticket in the next six months, according to Ohio Lottery rules.

The Duchess Shoppe location also will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the prize-winning ticket.

Greater Columbus is no stranger to big payouts from Powerball.

In June, another West Side gas station ― Circle K on Hall Road ― sold a $1 million Powerball ticket. Two months before that, a winning ticket worth $2 million was sold at a Speedway in Grove City.
