POWERBALL JACKPOT LEAPS TO $173 MILLION; $800,000 POWER PLAY PRIZE WON!
March 2, 2008
The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to get bigger and bigger. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, 1 lucky ticket in Missouri matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won an incredible $800,000 cash! Eight other winners matched all 5 white numbers for $200,000. These lucky tickets were purchased in Connecticut (1), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Louisiana (1), Montana (2), Oregon (1) and Pennsylvania (1). In addition, 920,128 tickets across the nation won a total of $9,519,993 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $173 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, March 5th drawing will be an estimated $85.7 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 2, 19, 21, 31, 55 and the Powerball was 19. The Power Play multiplier was 4.
Other prizes won Saturday evening included forty-one tickets that matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Thirteen additional tickets that won at this prize level also wisely purchased the Power Play and had the $10,000 winnings multiplied by 4 to $40,000!
A total of 150,500 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prizes by 4 Saturday. Players were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2 to 5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night’s multiplier.
Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.
Players purchased $38,438,002 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.
