South King County Fred Meyer donated winning $50K lottery prize

The south King County Fred Meyer that sold the winning $754.6 million winning Powerball ticket donated the money it received to a nearby food bank on Thursday.

The Kroger store, located at 801 Auburn Way North in Auburn, was presented a $50,000 check for selling the winning ticket on Feb. 5.

The winning numbers — 5, 11, 22, 23, 69, Powerball 07 — were announced Monday night.

No winner has come forward. Fred Meyer announced it would donate the money it received to the Auburn Food Bank.

“Hunger and food insecurity are critical issues across the state and partnerships like this one with Fred Meyer and QFC aim to shrink the numbers of people facing food insecurity,” Debbie Christian, executive director of the Auburn Food Bank, said in a statement.

“It’s always good to give back and today everyone wins," Fred Meyer President Todd Kammeyer added via a statement.
