There were a total of 903,448 additional winning tickets in America’s Game Wednesday evening. Those tickets won prizes totaling $8,450,412. The numbers drawn Wednesday were 1, 6, 48, 52, 56 and the Powerball was 9. The Power Play multiplier was 5. Other big winners Wednesday evening included one lucky ticket sold in Florida (1) that matched all 5 white ball numbers with the Power Play for a $1 million cash win each. This is part of the new game feature that guarantees a 5X multiplier on all match 5 white ball winners that also have the Power Play option pushing the prize to $1 million cash. Three additional tickets correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. These tickets were sold in Indiana (1), Louisiana (1), and Wisconsin (1). Twenty-five tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Four additional players not only matched 4+1, but also purchased the Power Play option for a total win of $50,000! A total of 161,046 winning Powerball plays were multiplied by 5 Wednesday evening. Winners were able to do so by purchasing the Power Play option for one dollar. With Power Play you can multiply your winnings, except for the jackpot, from 2 to 5 times. At the beginning of each drawing an animated spinner presents that night’s multiplier. Players purchased $36,195,180 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Sunday and Wednesday night. The jackpot for Saturday, April 11th will be $20 million. 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.
