01/03/08 POWERBALL lotto rolls over to $63 million

The Powerball jackpot continues to build. Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 435,405 players across the nation won a total of more than $3.9 million in prizes in America’s favorite Game.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $63 million for Saturday night’s drawing.

The cash option for the Saturday, January 5th drawing will be an estimated $30.8 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 2, 11, 31, 34, 48 and the Powerball was 5. The Power Play multiplier was 4.

One lucky ticket in Oklahoma (1) correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000.
Twenty-seven tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
Eight additional winners of that prize category also had the Power Play option that multiplied the win 4 times for a total of $40,000 each!

A total 88,772 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 4 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 $17,462,914 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
