$800,000 POWER PLAY PRIZE WON!
(Powerball) Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, Powerball paid off in big ways. One lucky ticket in Colorado won $800,000 with the Power Play option! In addition, three other lucky tickets won $200,000 for matching 5 white ball numbers in the states of Indiana (1), Missouri (1), and Pennsylvania (1).
The jackpot for the Saturday, June 9th drawing will be $43 million with the cash option at $20.1 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 5, 9, 14, 45, 48, and the Powerball was 28. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
Sixteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Three additional players of that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 4 for a $40,000 cash win! A total of 357,646 tickets across the nation won more than $4.3 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.
A total of 72,515 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prize by 4 Wednesday. Players were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for $1. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.
Players purchased more than $13.5 million in tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
The lotteries sold $2.8 billion in Powerball tickets in fiscal year 2006. That translates into over $800 million for worthwhile state projects.
Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
