(Powerball) Powerball will go to an estimated $43 million for Wednesday’s draw as the grand prize was not hit Saturday evening. Even though the jackpot was not hit, one lucky ticket from Tennessee won $600,000 with the Power Play option! One other lucky ticket sold in Missouri won $200,000 for matching all 5 white ball numbers.
The jackpot for the Wednesday, May 16th drawing will be $43 million with the cash option at $20.3 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday evening were 30, 44, 46, 51, 53, and the Powerball was 25. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Eighteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Two additional players of that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 3 for a $30,000 cash win! A total of 423,905 players across the nation won more than $3.6 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.
More than 922,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 3 Saturday. 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 purchased more than $18.7 million in tickets between Thursday and Saturday 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.
