The ticket, which matched five of the five white balls drawn, was sold at the United Food Market, which is located on the 500 block of East Walnut Lane in Philadelphia.
The owner of the business earned a $5,000 bonus for selling the $1 million prize.
"I had never heard of anybody local winning a sum of money that big, so that's pretty cool," said Kai Tremoglie of Bala Cynwyd.
And in South Jersey, one ticketholder matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball drawn, winning the $50,000 third-tier prize.
The ticket was sold at a Walmart at 1840 South Black Horse Pike in Williamstown, Gloucester County.

Other winners in Pennsylvania
A $2 million Powerball ticket was also sold in Luzerne County, and two other prizes worth $100,000 each were sold in York and Allegheny counties.
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.4 billion after no players matched all six numbers Wednesday night.

The winning numbers announced were: 9, 35, 54, 63, 64 and the Powerball 1.
Players will next have a shot at the Powerball jackpot Saturday night in hopes of ending an 11-week stretch without a big winner. No matter how large the prize grows the odds stay the same - and they're terrible.
It's those odds of 1 in 292.2 million that make the jackpot so hard to win and that result in such giant prizes for the lucky player or players who manage to pick the game's six winning numbers. The latest Powerball jackpot is the world's seventh-largest lottery prize. The last time someone won the top prize was July 19.
