Tacoma Player Doubles Powerball Win to $2 Million

Tacoma just scored big! A Powerball ticket sold at the 76 gas station on Pacific Ave. S., right by Lake Spanaway Golf Course, turned into a $2 million win. Thanks to the Power Play option, the prize doubled from $1 million, making this a night the lucky player will never forget.

Not just the winner celebrated—this gas station also pockets a $10,000 bonus for selling the second-tier ticket.

Powerball has been buzzing lately:

• In Washington alone, about 1.7 million players snagged a combined $14.5 million in the past year.

• Nationally, two players recently split an eye-popping $1.787 billion jackpot, with tickets sold in Missouri and Texas.

Thinking of trying your luck? The odds tell the real story:

• Hitting five white balls for $1 million: 1 in 11.6 million.

• Landing the grand jackpot: 1 in 292.2 million.

Still, Tacoma’s big win proves one thing—you never know when luck might strike.
