The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 3, 5, 12, 42, 43, and the Powerball was 5. The Power Play multiplier was 5.
Seventeen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Seven additional tickets of that prize level had the Power Play and had the prize multiplied by 5 for a $50,000 cash win! A total of 462,917 tickets across the nation won more than $6.5 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game.
