Thriftway, 12 E. Monroe St. in Buckner, was one of two retailers to sell a $50,000 winning Powerball ticket for the Dec. 29 drawing. 

The winner, who matched four out of five white-ball numbers, as well as the Powerball number, claimed their prize at the Missouri Lottery’s Kansas City regional office on Jan. 11.

The winning Powerball numbers for the Dec. 29 drawing were 2, 6, 9, 33 and 39 with a Powerball number of 11. The other $50,000 winning ticket from that night was purchased at Dierbergs, 222 N. Highway 67, in Florissant.

Powerball is a $2 per play multi-state Draw Game with drawings held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:59 p.m. All current and past winning numbers can be found at MOLottery.com.
