There was a $50,000 winning PowerBall ticket sold for Saturday’s $140.1 million drawing at the Stop & Shop on 1360 West Main Road in Middletown.

The ticket, which has not been claimed, matched four numbers and the PowerBall number. The winner did not add the PowerPlay feature for an additional dollar. If the winner had played PowerPlay, the prize would have been multiplied by 2, Saturday’s PowerPlay number, to equal $100,000.
