POWERBALL JACKPOT MOVES TO $136 MILLION; TWO $400,000 POWER PLAY PRIZES WON!
September 14, 2008
The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game is on the move. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, 2 lucky tickets in North Carolina (1), and Oklahoma (1) matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $400,000 cash each! Twelve other winners matched all 5 white numbers for $200,000 in the states of Connecticut (1), DC (1), Kentucky (2), Louisiana (1), Minnesota (1), North Carolina (2), Oklahoma (1), Pennsylvania (1), Rhode Island (1), and Wisconsin (1). In addition, 411,809 tickets across the nation won a total of $6,669,772 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $136 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, September 17th drawing will be an estimated $69.4 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 7, 17, 29, 43, 51 and the Powerball was 38. The Power Play multiplier was 2.
Other prizes won Saturday evening included twenty-nine tickets that matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Five additional tickets at this prize level were also wisely purchased with the Power Play option that multiplied winnings 2 times to $20,000 cash!
A total of 105,992 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prizes by 2 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 $30,420,951 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.
