(Powerball) One lucky ticket in Kentucky matched all 6 numbers Wednesday evening and walked away with the $33.6 million jackpot. The holder of the winning ticket will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or take the one time cash “lump sum” amount of $16,471,526.
There were a total of 376,782 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Wednesday evening. Those winners won prizes totaling $5,330,282.
The numbers drawn were 7, 14, 33, 40, 55 and the Powerball was 15. The Power Play multiplier was 5.
Four tickets correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. These tickets were sold in Arizona (1), Indiana (1), Pennsylvania (1), and Wisconsin. One additional ticket in Colorado not only matched all 5 white numbers, but also had the Power Play option multiplying the normal $200,000 prize by 5 for a total win of $1 million!
Twenty-eight tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Five additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option for a total win of $50,000!
A total of 73,153 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 5 Wednesday evening. Winners were able to do so by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot, from 2 to 5 times. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.
Players purchased $17,046,763 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
The jackpot for Saturday, December 15th will be $15 million.
