POWERBALL JACKPOT CLIMBS TO $90 MILLION; TWO $1 MILLION POWER PLAY PRIZES WON
January 1, 2009
The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to climb into the New Year. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Wednesday evening, 2 lucky tickets in DC (1), and North Carolina (1) matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 million cash each! Four other lucky tickets in Arizona (1), Missouri (1), New Mexico (1), and Tennessee (1) matched all 5 white balls for $200,000 each. In addition, 556,097 tickets across the nation won a total of $8,071,722 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $90 million!
The cash option for the Saturday, January 3rd drawing will be an estimated $56.7 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night were 7, 8, 11, 17, 53 and the Powerball was 36. The Power Play multiplier was 5.
Other prizes won Wednesday evening included 41 tickets that matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Three additional tickets at this prize level were also wisely purchased with the Power Play option and multiplied winnings 5 times to $50,000 cash!
A total of 102,773 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prizes by 5 Wednesday. 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 $24,919,356 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night.
