The jackpot for the Saturday, March 21st drawing will be $70 million with the cash option at $37.1 million. The numbers drawn Wednesday evening were 16, 26, 29, 41, 45, and the Powerball was 1. The Power Play multiplier was 2. Sixteen tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Another eight tickets at that prize level also had the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 2 for a $20,000 cash win! A total of 500,418 tickets across the nation won more than $3.2 million in prizes playing America’s favorite game. A total of 104,187 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prize by 2 Wednesday. Players were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for $1. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. All match 5 prizes in Powerball with the Power Play are multiplied 5 times for a $1 million cash win. At the beginning of each drawing an animated spinner presents 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 $22,899,242 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The lotteries sold more than $2.56 billion in Powerball tickets in FY08. That translates into more than $743 million for worthwhile state projects. Powerball is now played in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
