POWERBALL JACKPOT REACHES $203 MILLION; $400,000 POWER PLAY PRIZE WON! 9/21/2006
(Powerball) Powerball has reached an estimated $203 million jackpot for Saturday night’s draw as the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening. In addition, one lucky ticket from North Carolina won $400,000 with the Power Play option! Five other lucky tickets won $200,000 for matching 5 white ball numbers in the states of Arizona (1), Louisiana (1), and Pennsylvania (3).
The jackpot for the Saturday, September 23rd drawing will be $203 million with the cash option at $94.5 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 7, 8, 17, 29, 54, and the Powerball was 26. The Power Play multiplier was 2.
Thirty-eight tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Twelve additional players of that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 2 for a $20,000 cash win! A total of 901,772 players across the nation won more than $6.7 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.
More than 139,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 2 Wednesday. They 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 should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.
Players purchased more than $38.7 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.
