Powerball: One lucky ticket in Louisiana matched all 6 numbers Wednesday evening and walked away with the $97 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 $48,478,863.
There were a total of 593,882 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Wednesday evening. Those tickets won prizes totaling $7,258,886.


The numbers drawn were 9, 18, 19, 38, 47 and the Powerball was 11. The Power Play multiplier was 5.
Eight tickets correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. These tickets were sold in Idaho (1), North Carolina (3), New Hampshire (1), Oklahoma (1), Oregon (1), and Pennsylvania (1).
Thirty-three tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Thirteen additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option for a total win of $50,000!
