The owner of a Powerball ticket worth $1 million remains a mystery, officials said Friday.

A winning Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in early August at the 7-Eleven gas station combo store at 1205 East Lincoln Highway in Middletown.

After nearly a month, no one has claimed the prize, a state lottery spokesperson said.

The winning ticket correctly matched all five white balls – 21-24-36-42-45 – but not the red Powerball 15.

Dozens of people flooded the store in the hours after the news that the winning ticket was sold at the store trickled into the community.

Lottery officials said they are not able to confirm the winner until prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Winners of the Powerball have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.

In December, Levittown News & Tabacco owner Rakesh “Rocky” Raina sold a Powerball ticket worth $33 million to Bristol Township resident Roger Custer.
