A Vicksburg player who purchased a Powerball ticket in Mississippi has won $1 million.
A ticket sold at Fastway on Cherry at 1217 Cherry Street in Vicksburg for the Saturday, Jan. 30, drawing matched all five white ball winning numbers worth $1 million. The player did not choose the Power Play option and chose to remain anonymous.
