5/31/2007 (Powerball) The Powerball jackpot continues to move upward. Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 323,317 players across the nation won a total of more than $2.1 million in prizes in America’s favorite Game.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $25 million for Saturday night’s drawing.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were7, 23, 35, 54, 55 and the Powerball was 28. The Power Play multiplier was 2.
One lucky ticket in Pennsylvania correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000.
Twelve tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
Four additional winners of that prize category also had the Power Play option that multiplied the win 2 times for a total of $20,000!
A total of 71,301 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 2 Wednesday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply any 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 $14.9 million in tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
The lotteries sold over $2.8 billion in Powerball tickets in fiscal year 2006. That translates into approximately $800 million for worthwhile state projects.
