Powerball has reached an estimated $71 million jackpot for Wednesday night’s draw as the grand prize was not hit Saturday evening. One lucky ticket in Oklahoma won $800,000 cash with the Power Play option! Five tickets sold in the states of Kansas (2), Kentucky (1), North Carolina (1), and Tennessee (1) matched all 5 white ball numbers to win $200,000 each.
The jackpot for the Wednesday, January 9th drawing will be $71 million with the cash option at $35.5 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday evening were 4, 11, 16, 33, 40, and the Powerball was 9. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
Thirty-three tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Four additional winners at that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 4 for a $40,000 cash win! A total of 513,850 players across the nation won more than $6 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.
A total 99,296 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 4 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 $21,319,455 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.
