Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $42 million! The cash option for the Wednesday, April 22nd drawing will be an estimated $22.5 million. The numbers drawn Saturday night were 7-15-28-43-44 and the Powerball was 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3. There were 517,697 tickets across the nation that won a total of $3,546,890 in prizes. There were no match 5 without the Powerball winners in this drawing. Other prizes won Saturday evening included thirteen tickets that matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Seven additional tickets at this prize level were also wisely purchased with the Power Play option that multiplied winnings 3 times to $30,000 cash! A total of 111,989 winning Powerball tickets multiplied their prizes by 3 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 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 $22,532,476 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday 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.
