POWERBALL REACHES $20 MILLION!
June 5, 2008
The Powerball jackpot continues to build. Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 376,377 players across the nation won a total of more than $3.4 million in prizes in America’s favorite Game.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $20 million for Saturday night’s drawing.
The cash option for the Saturday, June 7th drawing will be an estimated $9.5 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 5, 18, 20, 40, 52 and the Powerball was 3. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
Four lucky tickets in Pennsylvania (2), Tennessee (1), and Wisconsin (1) correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000.
Sixteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000.
One additional winner of that prize category also had the Power Play option that multiplied the win 3 times for a total of $30,000!
A total of 83,666 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 3 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 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 $15,718,442 in tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
