Officials with the Pennsylvania Lottery say three winning $1-million Powerball tickets were sold in the state for Wednesday’s drawing, including one in Altoona.
That ticket was sold at the Swaraj Service Station located at 1700 Seventh Avenue in Altoona.
Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winners until each prize is claimed and each ticket is validated.
The two other tickets were sold in Butler and Montgomery counties.
Each retailer receives a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.
During the 2010-11 fiscal year, in addition to awarding more than $32 million in prizes to Blair County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $16.4 million to programs that benefited the county's older residents.
The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents.

I would've just posted this on Facebook, but Facebook doesn't allow you to post GIFs (like this little animation).
Maybe the $1.1 BILLION price tag isn't so crazy?
